âCome on boys, letâs hit the road!â
We left L.A. on Sunday, in Lubbock by Tuesday
Thatâs where we played our second show
Where nobody knew us, so nobody noticed the songs that the band didnât know
We were eatinâ up the white lines, makinâ good time
Digginâ the songs on the radio
And that party kept a movinâ aand you know what we were doinâ
We were smokinâ up that California gold
Now everyone was glad, âThe Weightâ played by The Band
You know I never had that song ever let me down
And I didnât notice I was speedinâ but in the rear-view mirror blinkinâ
Were them state trooperâs lights all spinninâ âround
We rolled down the windows, so we didnât think that he would notice
Something smellinâ funny in that smoke cloud
And he asked, âWhat you boys a-hidinâ?â and we were all silent
âCause I think he heard us clear and loud
And we were busted
Busted in Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
âOh no, my Weed!â
He spread us all along the highway, cuffed us all and turned us away
And started pokinâ round the truck for cake
And we all stood there high as a kite, and he found it alright
And donât yâall 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
Busted in Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
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, âIâm so sorry,â âcause they couldnât unarrest us
But that was up to some other official magistrate
And he said, âDonât you worry, son, all the charges are gone
But Iâve got a few autographs for you to sign.â
And they sprang us out right quick, so we could get up on the stick
To Wichita Falls by show time
To tell âem...
We were busted
Busted in Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
