D Got in a little trouble down at county seat
A D Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafn' on the street
D When the judge read the verdict I was a guilty man
D A D Said 45 dollars or 40 days in the can [Chorus 1]
G D Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, son
A D D7 You can make your choice if you're twenty one
G D No money down, no credit plan
A7 D No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man
