Got in a little trouble down at the county seat
Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafin' on the street
When the judge heard the verdict, I was a guilty man
He said, 45 dollars, or 30 days in the can
That'll be cash on the barrelhead, son
You can make your choice, you're twenty-one
No money down, no credit plan
No time to chase you, i'm a busy man
Found a telephone number, on a laundry slip
