N.C. Bullet in my shoulder, Blood runnin' down my vest, Twenty in the posse, And they're never gonna let me rest. Till I became a wanted man, I never owned a gun, But now they hunt me like a mountain cat, And I'm always on the run verse 1 I killed poor Jed Bryant In a bad Laredo fight, Killed him with my bare hands For the girl I loved that night. Jed's brother's out to get me, He's comin' with a gang I'd rather shoot it out, by God, than let 'em watch me hang N.C. Bullet in my shoulder, Blood runnin' down my vest, Twenty in the posse, And they're never gonna let me rest. Till I became a wanted man, I never owned a gun, But now they hunt me like a mountain cat, And I'm always on the run verse 2 She had spangles on her wedding dress She had laughter in her voice, And when they tried to put their hands on her My heart left me no choice. Now was she really worth it? I guess I'll never know, She'll be drinkin' someone else's rye when I'm six feet below. N.C. Bullet in my shoulder, Blood runnin' down my vest, Twenty in the posse, And they're never gonna let me rest. Till I became a wanted man, I never owned a gun, But now they hunt me like a mountain cat, And I'm always on the run
