Mr. Government Man

Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man,

I'm just a poor boy doin' the best that I can

I've been stepped upon and pushed around, yes, I have

You can tie me up, but never tie me down

Well, I was drivin' around, tryin' to find a place

To get a beer and some cigarettes

Pullin' up behind me, not afraid to flirt

There's a girl in a red Corvette

I saw in her face that she wanted to race

So I let my car out of jail

Man, I blew it, before I knew it

The Feds were on my tail

I knew it were trouble, but didn't wanna stop

I couldn't forget that girl

My dashboard slick from alcohol

And my head still in a whirl

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/europe/government_man.html ]

Just a country boy in the city lights

Tryin' to have some fun

But the Man behind me didn't wanna play

He pulled out a gun

Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...

Well, I had it comin', I hit the wall

And my car went up in flames

My head got hammered, thrown in the slammer

No one but me to blame

That's my story, ain't much glory

But I know I paid my dues

One thing I know in my heart and soul

I ain't never gonna lose

Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...

They say I might be goin' crazy

Hey, what else can I do?

Hey, my, my

Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man...

Hey, hey, Mr. Government Man

Don't you push me around no more
