Innocent Man

Crossed the border just about midnight

Cop said "pull over and get in line, boy"

Ain't got nothin' in the trunk of my car

Just some Ludwig drums and an old guitar

Playin' all night, sleepin' all day

Ain't much else worth doin' anyway

It's all I can do to keep the woes at bay

I'm an innocent man

I'm an innocent man

Attack trained dogs on a bus

Sniffin' around for angel dust

Drag me in like a criminal

Then they called in the constable

I wound up in a cold jail cell

Starin' at the walls all by myself

This side of heaven is cold as hell

I'm an innocent man

I'm an innocent man

If I ever get my citizen papers

Get a good job doin' hard labor

Bound to come through, seen the Lord later

Maybe you could be my one, true savior

One of these days, it won't take long

You'll look for me, and I'll be gone

Ain't ever done nobody no wrong

I'm an innocent man

I'm an innocent man

Innocent man
