Railroaded

I’ve been railroaded, baby

And that’s no lie..

I asked the judge

If I could testify

They handcuffed my wrist

They shackled my legs

You know I’ve never been

Never been a man to beg

I’ve been railroaded baby

And I’m an innocent man

I’m an innocent man

4 o’ clock in the morning

I heard a knock on my door

Two cops busting in

And threw me on the floor

They broke my leg

They cut my face

They brought me down

To a dark and dreary place

I’ve been railroaded baby

And I’m an innocent man

I’m an innocent man

How long do I have to stay?

I’ve got to get out

‘cause I’ve got gigs to play!

I talked to my lawyer

Tried to get an appeal

But he said the judge was not

Willing to make a deal

They say the placed me

At the scene of the crime

They had an eye witness

What happened to mine?

They planted drugs in my car

They messed with my DNA

They said the judge

Was gonna have a field day

I’ve been railroaded baby

And I’m an innocent man

I’m an innocent man

I’ve been railroaded baby

And I’m an innocent man

I’m an innocent man

I’m an innocent man
