Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][D]
[A][D][G][D][G]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
Got in [D]a little
[A]trouble down [D]at the county seat
Thrown to cook in the jailhouse
[A]for loitering on [D]the street
When the judge heard the verdict,
I was a guilty man
He said 45 dollars or [A]40 days [D]in the can

[Verse 2]
Said, that'll be [G]cash on the barrel head,
[D]son
You can take [A]your choice, you're 21
[D]No money dow[G]n, no credit pla[D]n
No time to [A]chase you 'cause I'm a busy
[D]man

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][G][A][D]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 3]
40 days in the [D]jailhouse
Four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry
I [A]feel a heavy [D]load
Saw a greyhound coming,
stuck up my thumb
Before I got to my seat
The driv[A]ing caught my [D]arm

[Verse 4]
Said that'll [G]be cash on the
barrel head [D]son
This old gray [A]dog gets paid to [D]run
When the engine [G]starts,
lawd, and the wheels all [D]roll
Give me cash on the [A]barrel head
I'll take you down the road
[D][G]

[Interlude 2]
[D][A]
[D][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[A]Said, [D]that'll be [G]cash
on the barrel head, [D]son
You can take [A]your choice, you're 21
[D]No money dow[G]n, no credit pla[D]n
No [A]time to chase you 'cause
I'm a busy [D]man
No time to [A]chase you

[Outro 1]
'cause I'm a busy man
[D]
