Lyrics:

In a car, going home, getting wasted Some cat stops and starts to make a crime He said, son I'm afraid I must bust you For getting spaced I just must waste your time Only a roach Won't keep us from crossing no ocean So they hounded us down to the station And said just how sorry they were And they spoke of the good in just drinking And drinking's all they're good for I said... Only a roach Won't keep us from crossing no ocean And the judge, well, he just would not listen But then listening ain't what he's paid for Cause he's paid for just gettin' his ass sore Forever and evermore Said, you pay through the nose For counsul and the clothes that you wore Ah, keep playing Only a roach Won't keep us from crossing no ocean I said... Only a roach Won't keep us from crossing no ocean
