Van Halen D.O.A. song lyrics

We was broke and hungry on a summer day

They sent the sheriff down to try an' drive us away

We were sittin' ducks for the police man

They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can (Uh ha)

(Ooh!)

And I'm alone, I'm on the highway

Wanted, dead or alive

Dead or alive

Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags

Ah from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags"

Ah send the mayor down in his pickup truck

The jury look at me, say "Outta luck" (Oo-ooh, yeah!)

And I'm alone, I'm on the highway

Wanted, dead or alive

Dead or alive (Uh-aah!)

(Alright! Ooh!)

Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags

Ah from the day my mama told me "Boy, you pack your bags"

An' we were sittin' ducks for the police man

They found a dirty-faced kid in a garbage can

(Dirty yeah, yeah!)

Babe, I'm alone and, I'm on the highway

Wanted, dead or alive

Dead or alive (Ow-ow!)

(Wow! I'm gone! Ooh yeah-ah! Oh! Ow-ow!)

Baby, let me run

(Oh-oh, oh-oh!)

I'm a spark on the horizon

(Ow!)

(Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow-wow!)

(Ow-wow-wow-wow-wow!)
