I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Oh, my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

Well, I'm a wanted man in Texas,
Busted jail and I'm gone for good.
Said, 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 she could.

Well now the doctor call me crazy,
Some says I am, some says I ain't,
Well now the doctor call me crazy,
Some says I am, some says I ain't,
Preacher man call me sinner
But his little girl calls me saint.

Well a couple shots of whiskey
Women `round here start looking good,
I said a couple shots of whiskey
Women `round here start looking good,
A couple more shots of whiskey,
I'm going down to Minglewood.

I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
I was born in the desert
Raised in a lion's den
Yes and my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men

And I'll do it, do it again
I said my number one occupation
Is stealing women from their men
