Take me across the water

'Cause I need some place to hide

I done the rancher's daughter

And I sure did hurt his pride

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah

Well, there's a hundred miles of desert

Lies between his hide and mine

I don't need no food, no water, Lord

'Cause I'm running out of time

Fightin', killin', wine and women

Gonna put me to my grave

Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'

Nothing left to save but my life

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ah-ah-ah

Stood on a ridge and shunned religion

Thinking the world was mine

I made my break and a big mistake

Stealin' when I should have been buying

All that fightin', killin', wine and those women

Gonna put me to an early grave

Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin'

Nothing left to save but my life

Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life

So I stood on a ridge and shunned religion

Thinking the world was mine

I made my break and a big mistake

Stealin' when I should have been buyin'

I was stealin' when I should have been buyin'

I was stealing when I should have been buyin' (yeah)

(Stealin') when I should have been buying

(Stealin') oh, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

(Stealin') ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

(Stealin') babe, babe

(Stealin') should, should, should have been buyin'

(Stealin') should have, should have, should have been buying

(Stealin') buying, yeah

Yeah-yeah
