[Intro – twangy electric guitar riff, steady snare shuffle] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – gritty guitar strum, foot-stomp rhythm] Boots scuff dust on a desert road Six-string slung where the wind blows Wanted sign nailed to the saloon door Ain't got no home, just a score to settle more [Pre-Chorus – building guitar tension, harmonica wail] Lawman's breath on my trail every night But I don't run from a fight I didn't start Got a bullet for the man who took my name Gonna burn his lies down in flame [Chorus 1 – soaring guitar hook, full drum beat] Wanted dead or alive, I ride alone No chains can hold this soul that's grown Blood on my boots and fire in my eyes Wanted dead or alive, I'll rise [Post-Chorus – wordless gritty hum, guitar riff fade] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 2 – slide guitar accent, slower strum] Campfire glow paints the canyon walls Whiskey burns where my pride falls Letter crumpled from a girl I left behind Ain't got time for tears, just a debt to find [Pre-Chorus 2 – harmonica trill, louder guitar] Posse's close, but I got a trick up my sleeve Ain't gonna let 'em put me in a grave to grieve Got a horse that runs like the devil's own Gonna outrun the dark till the dawn [Chorus 2 – layered vocals, distorted guitar solo tease] Wanted dead or alive, I stand my ground No judge or jury gonna shut me down Scars on my back and a song in my throat Wanted dead or alive, I won't choke [Bridge – sparse acoustic guitar, soft vocal delivery] I ain't no hero, just a man lost in the fray Did what I had to, to see another day If they catch me, they'll hang me high But my spirit'll ride the sky [Solo – blistering electric guitar, bluesy bends, full band backing] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – full band crescendo, gang vocal harmonies] Wanted dead or alive, I ride into the sun No regrets for the things I've done Legacy written in dust and bone Wanted dead or alive, I'm known [Outro – fading guitar strum, distant harmonica wail] Boots scuff dust on a desert road Six-string slung where the wind blows
