Lyrics:
Alright
Oh, yeah
Got in a little trouble down at the county seat Lord, they put me in the jailhouse for loafing on the street When the judge read the verdict, I was a guilty man Said 45 dollars or 40 days in the can Said, 'That'll be cash on the barrelhead, son You can take your choice if you're 21 No money down, no credit plan No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man'
Yeah, James Burton and his hot-twinglin' guitar
40 days in the jailhouse, four days on the road I was feeling mighty hungry, my feet a heavy load Saw a Greyhound comin', stuck out my thumb Before I got to my seat the driver caught my arm (and what'd he say?) Said, 'That'll be cash on the barrelhead, son This old gray dog gets paid to run When the engine starts and the wheels won't roll Give me cash on the barrelhead, I'll take you down the road' Said, 'That'll be cash on the barrelhead, son You can take your choice if you're 21 No money down, no credit plan No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man No time to chase you 'cause I'm a busy man' Yo-de-lei-ho, de-lei-hei-de-lei
Thank you Thank you very much, thank you, thank you Here's an old song from a long time back
In South Carolina There are many tall pines I remember the Oak trees That we used to climb But now when I'm lonesome I always pretend That I'm getting the feel of hickory wind I started out younger At most everything All the riches and pleasures What else could life bring? But it makes me feel better Each time it begins Callin' me home Hickory wind
It's a hard way to find out That trouble is real In a far away city With a far away feel But it makes me feel better Each time it begins Callin' me home Hickory wind Keeps callin' me home Hickory wind
