It was a long haul and I was rippin’ down the road
Headed up to Pasadena with a dirty kinda load
Them bears was on my tail, I heard the sirens wail
Oh lord if they catch me now
they’re gonna put me in the county jail
Oh lord have mercy on me, Oh lord have mercy on me
Oh lord have mercy on me, Oh lord have mercy on me
It was a long shot, and I was comin’ round the bend
Headin' for the freeway thinkin' this might be the end
I’d rather die! And go to hell! Than spend my life inside a cell
Oh lord they won’t catch me now,
I’m never goin to the county jail
Oh lord have mercy on me, Oh lord have mercy on me
Oh lord have mercy on me, Oh lord have mercy on me
