I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Well, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
You know, she wish she would
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
Doctor call me crazy, some says I am some says I ain't
The preacher man call me a sinner
But his little girl call me a saint
Ready a couple of shots of whiskey, women round here start lookin' good
A couple of shots of whiskey, this Frisco girls start lookin' good
Couple more shots of whiskey
I'm goin' down to Minglewood
T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuktu
Tell you it's T for Texas, yes and it's T for Timbuktu
Yes, and it's T for San Francisco
Where the little girls know what to do
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
I was born in a desert, I was raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
I'll do it again
And now my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
