He said “You were doing sixty in a forty-five, but I'm gonna let you go this time,
Dia bilang & ldquo; Anda sedang enam puluh dalam empat puluh lima, tapi saya akan membiarkan Anda pergi kali ini,
but if I catch you again I'm gonna slap you into county jail”.
Tapi jika aku menangkapmu lagi aku akan menamparmu ke penjara county & rdquo ;.

We said “Thank you sure, you've sure been nice, but you ain't gonna have to tell us twice” and we were south bound and down with the wind blowing in our faces.
Kami bilang & ldquo; Terima kasih sudah yakin, tapi Anda tidak akan memberi tahu kami dua kali & rdquo; dan kami diikat ke selatan dan ke bawah dengan angin bertiup di wajah kami.

We kept on rolling and pretty soon,

the radio was cooking out a Haggard tune

I was feeling dry and I said, “I think

I said, “Jim, this ain't our kinda place.”

He said “Well, let's just have one round anyways.”
Dia bilang & ldquo; ayo kita jalan satu saja. & Rdquo;
So against my better judgment, we walked on inside.
Jadi, melawan penilaian saya yang lebih baik, kami masuk ke dalam.

Went up to the bar and we sat down,

Mari kita pergi keluar dan kembali ke mobil,
cuz there's gonna be trouble, ain't no sense in taking a chance.”
