Bilingual
Got in a little trouble down at the county seat
Thrown to cook in the jailhouse for loitering on the street
When the judge heard the verdict, I was a guilty man
He said 45 dollars or 40 days in the can
Said, that'll be cash on the barrel head, son
You can take your choice, you're 21
No money down, no credit plan
No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man
ย
40 days in the jailhouse
Four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry
I feel a heavy load
Saw a greyhound coming, stuck up my thumb
Before I got to my seat
The driving caught my arm
Said that'll be cash on the barrel head son
This old gray dog gets paid to run
When the engine starts, lawd, and the wheels all roll
Give me cash on the barrel head
I'll take you down the road
ย
Said, that'll be cash on the barrel head, son
You can take your choice, you're 21
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
