Wanted Man - The Avett Brothers

Bullet in my shoulder

Blood running down my vest

Twenty in the posse

And they’re never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man

Well, I never even owned a gun

Now they own me like a mountain cat

And I’m always on the run

Well I killed poor Jed Bryce

In a bad Laredo fight

I killed him with my bare hands

For the girl I loved that night

Jed’s brothers out to get me

He’s coming with his gang

And I’d rather shoot it out by God

Than let them watch me hang

Bullet in my shoulder

Blood running down my vest

Twenty in the posse

And they’re never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man

Well, I never even owned a gun

Now they own me like a mountain cat

And I’m always on the run

She had spangles on her wedding dress

She had laughter in her voice

And when I tried to put my hands on her

My heart left me no choice

Now was she really worth it

I guess I’ll never know

She’ll be drinking someone else’s rye

When I’m six feet below

Bullet in my shoulder

Blood running down my vest

Twenty in the posse

And they’re never gonna let me rest

'Till I became a wanted man

Well, I never even owned a gun

Now they own me like a mountain cat

And I’m always on the run
