Wanted

                   words and music by Bob MacKenzie

I got away from the law alright
But now I'm lost in the blizzard tonight
My toes are frozen and my hands are numb
And I know my death will soon have to come.

I'm wanted dead or alive
I know I'll never survive

I killed a man in a fit of rage
Had to get away, too late for the stage
So I walked out of town in the blowing snow
Had nowhere to hide, nowhere to go.

I'm wanted dead or alive
I know I'll never survive

I'm laying here now in a six foot drift
Thinking of death as a merciful gift
I hate this snow and I hate this wind
I'm lost out here with not even a friend.

I'm wanted dead or alive
I know I'll never survive
