Lord, I'm just a country boy
With trouble on my mind
And a law man close behind

Now they're coming after me
Like I always knew they would
They say that I'm no good

Law man, I'm ready
Law man, come get me

Lord, I'm just a country boy
With my hands upon the wheel
Of a tired Oldsmobile

Still they're coming after me
I think they're just surprised
That I stand up for my rights

Law man, come get me
Law man, I'm ready

Let's go to the Diamond Belle
I know a good cheap motel
They want me in Missouri soon
But tonight is the Diamond Belle Saloon

Law man, I'm ready
Law man, come and get me

Lord, I'm just a country boy
With trouble on my mind
And a law man close behind
