Well, I was driving around tryin to find a place to get a beer and some cigarettes Pullin up behind me, not afraid to flirt there's a girl in a red corvette I saw in her face that she wanted to race so I let my car outta jail Man I blew it, before I knew it, the feds were on my tail
I knew it was trouble, didn't wanna stop I couldn't forget that girl My dashboard's slick from alcohol and my head's still in a whirl Just a country boy in the city lights tryin to have some fun But the man behind me didn't wanna play he pulled out a gun
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man I'm just a poor boy doin the best that I can I've been stepped upon and pushed around You can tie me up but never tie me down
Well I had it comin, I hit the wall and my car went up in flames My head got hammered, thrown in the slammer, no one but me to blame That's my story, ain't much for it but I know I've paid my dues One thing I know, in my heart and soul, I ain't never gonna lose
They say I might be goin crazy hey what else can I do, I have my mind
