============================================================

 

Got in a little trouble down at the county seat

Made cook in the jailhouse for loiterin' on the street

When the judge read the verdict was a guilty man

Said 45 dollars or 40 days in the can

And that'll be cash on the barrellhead son

You can make your choice, you're twenty one

No money down, no credit plan

Get your cash on the barrelhead, 'cause I'm a busy man

 

Four days in the jailhouse, four days on the road

Feel tired and hungry, with a heavy load

Saw a Greyhound coming', stuck out my thumb

Before I got to my seat, the driver caught on

That'll be cash on the barrlehead son

This old grey dog gets paid to run

When the engine starts, and the wheels all roll

Get your cash on the barrelhead, take you down the road

 

And that'll be cash on the barrellhead son

You can make your choice, you're twenty one

No money down, no credit plan

Get your cash on the barrelhead, 'cause I'm a busy man

Get your cash on the barrelhead, 'cause I'm a busy man
