	作词 : Hall
	One time i spent a week inside a little country jail
	And i don't guess i'll ever live it down
	I was sittin' at a red light when these two men came and got me
	And said that i was speeding through their town
	Well, they said,"tomorrow morning you can see the judge then go."
	They let me call one person on the phone
	I thought i'd be there overnight so i just called my boss
	To tell him i'd be off but not for long
	Well, they motioned me inside a cell with seven other guys
	One little barred up window in the rear
	My cellmates said if they had let me bring some money in
	We ought to send the jailer for some beer
	Well, i had to pay him double 'cause he was the man in charge
	And the jailer's job was not the best in town
	Later on his wife brought hot bologna, eggs and gravy
	The first day i was there i turned it down
	Well, next morning they just let us sleep but i was up real early
	Wonderin' when i'd get my release
	Later on we got more hot bologna, eggs and gravy
	And by now i wasn't quite so hard to please
	Two days later when i thought that i had been forgotten
	The sheriff came in chewin' on a straw
	He said, "where is the guy who thinks that this is indianapolis?
	I'd like to talk to him about the law."
	Well, i told him who i was and told him i was working steady
	And i really should be gettin' on my way
	That part about me bein' who i was did not impress him
	He said, "the judge'll be here any day."
	The jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awful
	But she brought that hot bologna every day
	And after seven days she got to lookin' so much better
	I asked her if she'd like to run away
	The next mornin' that old judge took every nickel that i had
	And he said, "son, let this teach you not to race."
	The jailer's wife was smilin' from the window as i left
	In thirty minutes i was out of state
