There's this song that  goes something like, "Oh Mama, i can't fear for my life from the law.....there's a man coming down from the gallows, and i know i don't have long...." i know those aren't all right, i'm sorry, the groups singing about being a "Wanted man". I've been lookin for this song for years.

It sounds like Styx.  I want to say the name of the song is the Renegade, or something like it.  (Sorry, I'm not much of a Styx fan) but it's worth a google search.

Cheers

You are right ladybug, it is renegade by styx

Oh mamma 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 mamma I can hear you crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very
long
CHORUS
The jig is up the news is out they've finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
This will be the end today of the wanted man
Oh mamma I've been years on the lamb
And had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive
Now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear mamma I can hear you crying
You're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows
And I don't have very long
CHORUS

hope this is the one you are lookin for BobLives  8)

It is from the Pieces of Eight album which is an excellent album.
