I've got to leave this town,
I've got to go before the sun goes down
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
(Yeah)
