[Chorus]
I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
And my main 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
Well, 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 wish he would
Yeah, she wish he would

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Well, the doctor calls me crazy
Sometimes I am, sometimes I ain't
Well, now, the doctor calls me crazy
Sometimes I am. sometimes I ain't
Yes, and the preacher man calls me a sinner
But his little girl calls me a saint

[Chorus]
Said I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Said I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
And my main occupation
Is stealing women from their men

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Said I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Said I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
And my main occupation
Is stealing women from their men

Well, my main occupation
Is stealing women from their men
