Intro
Got in a little trouble down at the county seat
Made cook in the jailhouse for loiterin' on the street
When the judge read the verdict was a guilty man
Said 45 dollars or 40 days in the can
Chorus
And that'll be cash on the barrellhead son
You can make your choice, you're twenty one
No money down, no credit plan
Get your cash on the barrelhead, 'cause I'm a busy man
Solo
Four days in the jailhouse, four days on the road
Feel tired and hungry, with a heavy load
Saw a Greyhound coming', stuck out my thumb
Before I got to my seat, the driver caught on
Chorus
That'll be cash on the barrlehead son
This old grey dog gets paid to run
When the engine starts, and the wheels all roll
Get your cash on the barrelhead, take you down the road
Solo
Chorus
And that'll be cash on the barrellhead son
You can make your choice, you're twenty one
No money down, no credit plan
Get your cash on the barrelhead, 'cause I'm a busy man
