Shooter Jennings - Busted In Baylor County lyrics

“Come on boys, let's hit the road!” We left L.A. on Sunday, in Lubbock by Tuesday That's where we played our second show Where nobody knew us, so nobody noticed the songs that the band didn't know We were eatin' up the white lines, makin' good time Diggin' the songs on the radio And that party kept a movin' aand you know what we were doin' We were smokin' up that California gold Now everyone was glad, “The Weight” played by The Band You know I never had that song ever let me down And I didn't notice I was speedin' but in the rear-view mirror blinkin' Were them state trooper's lights all spinnin' ‘round We rolled down the windows, so we didn't think that he would notice Something smellin' funny in that smoke cloud And he asked, “What you boys a-hidin'?” and we were all silent ‘Cause I think he heard us clear and loud And we were busted Busted in Baylor County Busted, busted in Baylor County “Oh no, my Weed!” He spread us all along the highway, cuffed us all and turned us away And started pokin' round the truck for cake And we all stood there high as a kite, and he found it alright And don't y'all 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, “I'm so sorry,” ‘cause they couldn't unarrest us But that was up to some other official magistrate And he said, “Don't you worry, son, all the charges are gone But I've got a few autographs for you to sign.” And they sprang us out right quick, so we could get up on the stick To Wichita Falls by show time To tell ‘em... We were busted Busted in Baylor County Busted, busted in Baylor County Busted, busted in Baylor County Busted, busted in Baylor County
