Well, I was driving around tryin
to find a place to get a beer and some cigarettes
Pullin up behind me, not afraid to flirt
there's a girl in a red corvette
I saw in her face that she wanted to race
so I let my car outta jail
Man I blew it, before I knew it, the feds were on my tail

I knew it was trouble, didn't wanna stop
I couldn't forget that girl
My dashboard's slick from alcohol
and my head's still in a whirl
Just a country boy in the city lights
tryin to have some fun
But the man behind me didn't wanna play
he pulled out a gun

Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man
I'm just a poor boy doin the best that I can
I've been stepped upon and pushed around
You can tie me up but never tie me down

Well I had it comin, I hit the wall
and my car went up in flames
My head got hammered, thrown
in the slammer, no one but me to blame
That's my story, ain't much for it
but I know I've paid my dues
One thing I know, in my heart
and soul, I ain't never gonna lose

They say I might be goin crazy
hey what else can I do, I have my mind

Don't ya push me around no more
