lyrics

[Chorus]
Wanted
Wanted
Wanted
Drunk 'n' alive
Wanted
Wanted
Wanted
Drunk 'n' alive
[/Chorus]
A little saloon at a fork in the road
Th'appearance is sober, the atmosphere low
The horse trough is busted the doors fallen out
Yet still I'm lured in by the sweet smell of stout
As I walk in the bar I find seventeen men
All looking at me, then back down again
Two seconds in, the music has stopped
They show me a poster, I know that I'm fucked
[Chorus]
They all know what I’ve done
The patrons are restless, they're shouting out loud
The bartender's friendly, "first one's on the house"
I pick up the pint, I drink and I spit
Then ax the old bastard, "the fuck is this shit?!"
He says and explains, "it's simple my friend"
"Your bounty's my life, I can't pay my rent"
"So I poured you the finest black stout that we have
Topped off with whiskey and porter and dram"
[Chorus]
The madness has begun
[Bridge]
I slam the pint
and start to walk
the crowd has fallen still
I'm trying to make my way
back to the door
then suddenly a chill
I try to
push on
when all the lights go out

It's hard to relax
with a man on your chest
and a bottle in your mouth!
[/Bridge]
A punch on the kidney, a kick in the spleen
This must be the best feckin 'barfight i've seen
ten against one, the chances are slim
The bartender ran, things are looking grim
The darkest of moments, a space opens up
For me to escape through while drinking my rum
I made it outside now, away from the heat
off to the next town, five minutes to breathe
[chorus]
They’ve got me drinking on the run
