[Intro: Kris Allen, Danny Gokey]
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Lawman has put an end to my running, and I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama, I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long

[Chorus: Kris Allen, Danny Gokey]
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man

[Verse: Danny Gokey, Kris Allen]
Oh, Mama, I've been years on the lam and had a high price on my head
Lawman said, "Get him dead or alive," and it's for surе he'll see me dead
Dеar Mama, I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long

[Chorus: Kris Allen, Danny Gokey]
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
The judge will have revenge today
On the wanted man (Wanted man)
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: Kris Allen & Danny Gokey]
Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long

[Chorus: Kris Allen, Danny Gokey]
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man
The jig is up, the news is out
They finally found me
The renegade who had it made
Retrieved for a bounty
Nevermore to go astray
This'll be the end today
Of the wanted man (Wanted man), yeah

[Outro: Kris Allen & Danny Gokey]
Oh, Mama, I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows, and I don't have very long
