I could tell you that I was a christian 



and I don't guess that would be a lie 



I could tell you that I was church of christ 



and I don't guess you could prove me wrong 



so don't trouble no policeman 



he's got a wife and kids of his own 



and don't trouble yer neighbor 



cause they just want to be left alone 



I suppose if I was a demon 



I might have bugs all over my legs 



it might make sense for me t'tangle 



with my wife for awhile 



so don't trouble no policeman 



he's got a wife and kids of his own 



and don't trouble yer neighbor 



cause they just want to be left alone 



Lord ain't this nation lonely
