[Intro]
One, two, one, two
[Chorus]
I was born in the desert, raised in a lion's den
You see, I was born in the desert, raised in a lion's den
And my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
You see, I'm a wanted man in Texas, busted jail and I'm gone for good
Well now, the sheriff couldn't catch me
But his little girl sure wished she would
You know she wished she would
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Well now, the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Yes, and the doctor call me crazy, sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
You see, the preacher man call me a sinner
But his little girl call me a saint
[Chorus]
'Cause I was born in the desert, raised in a lion's den
You see, I was born in the desert, raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
And I'll do it again
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
You see, I was born in the desert, raised in a lion's den
You see, I was born in the desert, raised in a lion's den
Well, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
And I'll do it again
[Outro]
Well, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men
