Story Behind the Song
An outlaw tune about being on the run
Lyrics
When I was 13, My dad said to me
"Son when you grow to be a man,
You'll have to cheat and you'll have
to steal, just to get an upper hand."
That was 20 years ago I live my life on
the road,
cause, I'm a wanted man,
I'm just doing what I'm told is the only life
I know,
I'm the son of a wanted man.
So just take it real slow and do what you're
told, and I won't hurt you man.
I'll just take what I need I may leave the rest
But if I don't you'll understand.
I'm just doing what I'm told is the only life I know,
I'm the son of a wanted man.
Too many women, and too many pills
Too much damn cocaine,
Too much whiskey and too much weed,
I've smoked away my brain.
So just take it real slow and do what
you're told and I won't hurt you man,
I'm just doing what I'm told is the only
life I know, I'm the son of a wanted man.
