April Wine – Wanted Dead Or Alive lyrics

Written by: J. Cannata and M. Soldan

Dead or alive
They say that crime don't pay
(wanted) dead or alive
I was born to be a runaway

When you're out on your own
You can be so alone
City livin' means breakin' the rules

Once you're in you never get out
There's just no way to stop
There's nowhere to go they're draggin' you down
Cause you're the one they want

Dead or alive
They say that crime don't pay
(wanted) dead or alive
I was born to be a runaway

If the street is your friend
Gotta fight to the end
Soldiers of fortune they never give up

And once you're out you have it made
You rake your way to the top
Nowhere to go they're draggin' you down
Cause you're the one they want

Dead or alive
They say that crime don't pay
(wanted) dead or alive
I was born to be a runaway
Wanted dead or alive

Take it or leave it break all the rules

Once you're in you never get out
There's just no way to stop
There's nowhere to go they're draggin' you down
Cause you're the one they want

Dead or alive
I was born to be a runaway
(wanted) dead or alive
I was born to be a runaway, anyway, (runaway)
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive
