Van Halen - D.O.A. lyrics

[Van Halen - D.O.A. lyrics]

We was broke and hungry on a summer day
They sent the sheriff down to
Try and drive us away
We was sittin' ducks for the policeman
They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can

And I'm alone i'm on the highway
Wanted dead or alive dead or alive

Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags
From the day my mama told me "Boy
You pack your bags"
Send the mayor down in his pickup truck
The jury look at me, say, "Outta luck!"

And I'm alone i'm on the highway
Wanted dead or alive dead or alive

Now, I'm broken down and dirty
Dressed in rags
From the day my mama told me "Boy
You pack your bags"
We was sittin' ducks for the policeman
They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can

And I'm alone i'm on the highway
Wanted dead or alive dead or alive
