"Dead Or Alive" lyrics

"Dead Or Alive"

Hail the new sheriff, sent me a letter
And the new sheriff sent me a letter
Sayin', "Come up and see me, dead or alive"
"Come up and see me, dead or alive"

Well, he even sent me my picture
Well, he even sent me my picture
Well, how do I look, boys, dead or alive?
How do I look, boys, dead or alive?

He said he'd pay my expenses
And he said he'd pay my expenses
I don't need your money, dead or alive
Don't need your money, honey, dead or alive

I don't like your hard bed hotels
I don't like your hard bed hotels
I'd rather sleep on the ground, buddy, dead or alive
Sleep on the ground, buddy, dead or alive

I got to go down see my little sweet thing
I got to go down see my little sweet thing
I need your love, honey, dead or alive
Need your love, honey, dead or alive
It's a hard, hard road, dead or alive
Dead or alive, it's a hard, hard road
