'Cause you're wanted by the police and my wife thinks you're dead
Go find another ex-sweetheart to hang around instead
We reminisced, now let's just go our separate ways again
Nobody knew what happened, where you been for all these years
And I can see the kind of trouble you could get me in
But I'm faithful to my wife and I don't ever break the law
Somebody spread the rumor, that you had lost your life
We'll have to say hello, maybe some other time instead
You better pay attention to every word I said
'Cause you're wanted by the police and my wife thinks you're dead
And I can see that one of us will have to leave this town
You never called or wrote me, just up and disappeared
I don't know where you're headed for, but I know where you been
So goodbye to you baby, I'm glad we got to talk
Least that's the way I heard it and what I told my wife
If you think that I want trouble, then you're crazy in your head
'Cause you're wanted by the police, and my wife thinks you're dead
But things are really different now, since the good old days
Now here you're showin' up again and talk is gettin' round
Now trouble's what you're lookin' like 'cause trouble's where you've been
'Cause you're wanted by the police and my wife thinks you're dead
And you've been in some trouble, since we went our separate ways
