Busted In Baylor County

"Come on boys, let's hit the road!"
 We left L.A. on Sunday, in Lubbock by Tuesday
 That's where we played our second show
 Where nobody knew us, so nobody noticed the songs that the band didn't know
 We were eatin' up the white lines, makin' good time
 Diggin' the songs on the radio
 And that party kept a movin' aand you know what we were doin'
 We were smokin' up that California gold
 ♪
 Now everyone was glad, "The Weight" played by The Band
 You know I never had that song ever let me down
 And I didn't notice I was speedin' but in the rear-view mirror blinkin'
 Were them state trooper's lights all spinnin' 'round
 We rolled down the windows, so we didn't think that he would notice
 Something smellin' funny in that smoke cloud
 And he asked, "What you boys a-hidin'?" and we were all silent
 'Cause I think he heard us clear and loud
 And we were busted

 "Oh no, my Weed!"
 
 He spread us all along the highway, cuffed us all and turned us away
 And started pokin' round the truck for cake
 And we all stood there high as a kite, and he found it alright
 And don't y'all make light of the number one dope dog in the state
 That mutt found the joint in my pocket that was buried and locked up
 In the back of the trailer underneath the guitars and the piano seat
 And off we went to jail all locked up in a cell
 Charged with possession of that sweet leaf
 And we were busted

 Now I was still pretty buzzed when they called in the judge
 Who greeted me with a smile and a warm handshake
 And he said, "I'm so sorry," 'cause they couldn't unarrest us
 But that was up to some other official magistrate
 And he said, "Don't you worry, son, all the charges are gone
 But I've got a few autographs for you to sign."
 And they sprang us out right quick, so we could get up on the stick
 To Wichita Falls by show time
 To tell 'em...
 We were busted
