I've got to leave this town, I've got to go before the sun goes down
 'Cause I done got tired of these coppers running me around

 I stayed in jail last night and all last night before
 I stayed in jail last night and all last night before
 I would have been there now if my daddy hadn't sprung the do'

 I stay in so much trouble, that's why I've got to go
 I stay in so much trouble, that's why I've got to go
 But when I get out this time, I won't sell moonshine no more

 I done packed my trunk and done shipped it on down the road
 I done packed my trunk and done shipped it on down the road
 Now I won't be bothered with these big bad bulls no more

 Just keep me a-moving going from door to door
 Just keep me a-moving going from door to door
 I done made up in my mind not to sell moonshine no more

 (spoken: Yeah
