Oh, yeah
Got in a little trouble
Down at the county seat
Thrown to cook in the jailhouse for
litering on the street
When the judge heard the verdict.
I was a guilty man
Said, forty-five dollars or,
forty days in the can
Said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son
You can take your choice if you're twenty-one
No money down, no credit plan
No time to chase you, 'cause I'm a busy man
Forty days in the jailhouse
Four days on the road
I was feelin' mighty hungry
I feel a heavy load
Saw a Greyhound comin' , stuck out my thumb
Before I got to my seat, the driver caught my arm
Said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son
This old grey dog gets paid to run
When the engine starts and the wheels all roll
Give me cash on the barrelhead, I'll take
you down the road
Said, that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son
You can take your choice, if you're twenty one
No money down, no credit plan
No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man
No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man
