歌曲歌詞
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 cell mates 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
