Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
Never robbed a bank, I never stole a car
Never pumped no bullets into Johnny Law
Always paid my taxes, always drove below the speed limit
In my hometown
Always had a girlfriend
Yeah, I always had a job
Never drank no alcohol
I always flapped my jaw
Never raised a finger 'til I heard the lord
Blowin' on his old war horn
Always smoked them cigarettes
Yeah, never smoked no dope
Always had an alibi
Yeah, always had some hope
Never thought no evil could have settled down
In the people of my hometown
Never met no witches, no, I never met no ghosts
Never sent no howlies to the fire below
Never carried weapons 'til I heard the lord
Blowin' on his old war horn
