Lyrics
Verse #1
It's snowing up on the Who-Do
And it's raining down on the plain
The tumble weeds are dodging barbed wire( I love watch them roll )
Cause sometimes I feel like I' tumbling too
That's the reason I came
And it's been fun son but I'm thinking it's time to go
Chorus
So I'm getting while the getting's good
Making my getaway
Lord knows you gotta get it while you can
I couldn't stay if I could
Not one more day
I heard my baby say I'm a wanted man
Verse#2
I'm ten sleeps outside of Mateetsee
One more sleepless night alone
And a sign on the door that says " Do not disturb"
I could be half-way down the alleyway
Before they even know I'm gone
Jack in the back peeling out from the curb
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Wanted man that's not a bad thing
Wanted man where you been?
Wanted Man might be a good thing
When you're back in you're baby's arms again
Verse#3
Don't you know those Absarokas
They are quite the site to see
And the Shaushoney is running clear as gin
And that eagle taking flight
He was looking right at me
Looks like it's looking like there's nothing left to harvest here but the wind
Repeat Chorus
I'm ten sleeps outside of Mateetsee
