lyrics

I'm a wanted man in California, I'm a wanted man in Buffalo.
I'm a wanted man in Kansas City, I'm a wanted man in Ohio.
A wanted man in Mississippi, they want me in Old Cheyenne.
Wherever you may look tonight, you will see this wanted man.
I might be in Colorado or Georgia by the sea,
Working for some man who may not know at all who I might be.

If you ever see me comin' and you know just who I am,
Don't breathe a word to no one buddy, 'cause I'm a wanted man.
Wanted man in Albuquerque, wanted man in Syracuse.
I'm a wanted man in Tallahassee and a wanted man in Baton Rouge.
Wanted man in Arizona, wanted man in Galveston.
Wanted man in El Dorado, this wanted man's in great demand.

If you ever catch me sleepin'
Just see the price flashin' 'bove my head
Well take look again my friend
That's a gun pointed at your head.

Wanted man by Lucy Watson, wanted man by Jesse Brown.
Wanted man by Nellie Johnson, wanted man in this next town.
Wanted man by the Boller Sisters, wanted man by Kid Callahan.
Hey Darlin' don't you tell me you don't want me
'Cause I'm a wanted man.

A wanted man who's lost his will to live.
A wanted man who won't lay down.
There's a woman kneelin' on my grave
Pushin' daisies in the ground.

Wanted man in the Windy City, wanted man in Tennessee.
Wanted man in Broken Arrow and a wanted man in Wounded Knee.
Wanted man in Jackson Town, wanted man in El Passo.
I got bounties on my head in towns I would never think to go.
Wanted Man in Arizona, wanted man in Louisville.
Wanted man deep in Death Valley, wanted man up in the Hollywood Hill.

If the Devil comes collectin'
'Cause he doesn't know I'm a wanted man
He'd better wear a six gun on his hip
And hold another in his hand
If you love the wanted man
You best hold him while you can
'Cause you're gonna wake up one mornin'
And find the man you wanted, he is gone.

Wanted man in New York City, wanted man in San Anton'.
Wanted man down in Laredo, wanted man in Tupelo.
Wanted man in the state of Texas, wanted man in the state of Maine.
This wanted man's in the state of leavin' ya baby
Jumpin' on a midnight train.
Wanted man in every cat house, wanted man in a many saloons.
Wanted man is a ghost in hundred homes, and a shadow in a thousand rooms.
Wanted man down in St. Louis, wanted man in New Orleans.
Wanted man in Mossel Bay, wanted man in Cripple Creek.
Wanted man in Detroit City, wanted man in San Anton'.
But there's one place I'm not wanted lord
And it's the place that I call home.

Wanted man.
Wanted man.
If the devil comes collectin'
He better hold a six gun in his hand.

Deckard Croix Columbus, Ohio

There are many elements comprising Croix’s style, however, psychedelia, ambience, and musique concrete are the most predominant strains featured in nearly every project. Other recurring panaches involve atonality, dissonance, indeterminism, and droning. All Croix recordings convey a heavy preference for the lo-fi aesthetic. ... more
