It's good to see you baby, it's been a long, long while
We're both a whole lot older, and seen a lot of miles
But things are really different now, since the good old days
And you've been in some trouble, since we went our separate ways

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