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, yes, I have |
|
You can tie me up, but never tie me down |
|
Well, I was drivin' 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 out of jail |
|
Man, I blew it, before I knew it |
|
The Feds were on my tail |
|
I knew it were trouble, but didn't wanna stop |
|
I couldn't forget that girl |
|
My dashboard slick from alcohol |
|
And my head 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... |
|
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 glory |
|
But I know I paid my dues |
|
One thing I know in my heart and soul |
|
I ain't never gonna lose |
|
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man... |
|
They say I might be goin' crazy |
|
Hey, what else can I do? |
|
Hey, my, my |
|
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man... |
|
Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man |
|
Don't you push me around no more |
