I'm sittin' in the Knoxville Courthouse
I ain't got a thing to do
I don't wanna go to the movies
I couldn't if I wanted to
I'm on trial for lovin' you
Now this all started in a honky tonk
I said what the hell is this as another man and woman come in
And the girl I'm with starts cryin' and screamin' and she runs over to them
She says thank god you're here, he tried to hurt me momma
I said now you don't mean
The cop said son the girl is 17
So that's why I'm in the Knoxville Courthouse
