Bad news travels like wild fire
Good news travel slow
They all call me wild fire
Everybody knows
Hell I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leaving them girls that hate to see me go
The late tried to hang me in okla
Then they did in Francisco
But I wouldn't choke him no I broke that rope
They had to let me go
So I'm bad news everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leaving little girls that hate to see me go
Well from north of south Venice to west
The story is all the same
One state to another
I had to change my name
Well I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leaving them girls that hate to see me go
Good news travel slow
They all call me wild fire
Everybody knows
Hell I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leaving them girls that hate to see me go
The late tried to hang me in okla
Then they did in Francisco
But I wouldn't choke him no I broke that rope
They had to let me go
So I'm bad news everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leaving little girls that hate to see me go
Well from north of south Venice to west
The story is all the same
One state to another
I had to change my name
Well I'm bad news
Everywhere I go
Always gettin' in trouble
Leaving them girls that hate to see me go
