got in a little trouble at the county seat
Lawd
They put me in the jail house for loafing on the street
When the judge heard the verdict i was a guilty man
He said forty-five dollars or thirty days in the can
Said
That'll be cash on the barrelhead
Son
You can take your choice you're twenty-one
No money down
No credit plan
No time to chase you cause i'm a busy man
 
found a telephone number on a laundry slip
I had a good hearted jailer with a six gun hip
He let me call long distance
She said number please
And no sooner than i told her
She shouted out at me
 
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son
Not part not half but the entire sum
No money down
No credit plan
Cause a little bird told me
You're a travellin' man
 
Thirty days in the jailhouse
four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry my feet a heavy load
Saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb
Just as i was being seated
The driving caught my arm
 
Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead son
This old gray dog gets paid to run
When the engine starts
Lawd
The wheels won't roll
Give me cash on the barrelhead i'll take you down the road
