Wanted Man Lyrics
Wanted man in Kansas City, wanted man in Ohio,
Wanted man in Mississippi, wanted man in old Cheyenne,
Wherever you might look tonight, you might see this wanted man.
Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be.
If you ever see me comin' and if you know who I am,
Don't you breathe it to nobody 'cause you know I'm on the lam.
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, wanted man in this next town.
But I've had all that I've wanted of a lot of things I had
And a lot more than I needed of some things that turned out bad.
Went the wrong way into Juarez with Juanita on my lap.
Then I went to sleep in Shreveport, woke up in Abilene
Wonderin' why the hell I'm wanted at some town halfway between.
Wanted man in Tallahassee, wanted man in Baton Rouge,
There's somebody set to grab me anywhere that I might be
And wherever you might look tonight, you might get a glimpse of me.
Wanted man in Kansas City, wanted man in Ohio,
Wanted man in Mississippi, wanted man in old Cheyenne,
Wherever you might look tonight, you might see this wanted man.
Its about being on the run... on an ovious levle, could be another meaning thats esceped me... shuts up
Wow... first I thought what the guy before me said was true about this song being a wanted man on the run. Then I listened again about driving through Jaurez with Jaunita on my lap and now think this song might be about Bob Dylan getting laid every place he goes cause he's so popular every town he comes across playing music there are women that want him. What do you think?
listen to Johnny Cash's cover of this its way better tho that only my opinion, i could be right or wrong cuz ur gonna find Cash and Dylan in umm heaven or the grand canyon or something of course bob still has to die
why are the booing him? stupid english people :P
@Elrose as an English person, I can’t take responsibility for the good or bad actions of people whose similarities to me begin and end with the country of my birth. I would certainly not have the arrogance to claim American people are stupid, they have diverse levels of intelligence the same as England has. This stupidity comment seems an attack on people’s ethnicity. American opinions are as valid as English ones. It certainly feels wrong and sub - intelligent to be booing Bob Dylan , though, this song shows the genius level songwriting that’s apparent through Mr....
