| Well, I left my motel room, down at the | |
| Starkville | |
| MotelThe town had gone to sleep and | |
| I was feelin' fairly well | |
| I strolled along the sidewalk 'neath the sweet magnolia trees | |
| I was whistlin', pickin' flowers, swayin' in the southern breeze | |
| I found myself surrounded, one policeman said, "That's himCome along, wild flower child, don't you know that it's 2 a.m." | |
| They're bound to get you' | |
| Cause they got a curfew | |
| And you go to the | |
| Starkville | |
| City JailWell, they threw me in the car and started driving into town | |
| I said, "What the hell did I do?" | |
| And he said, "Shut up and sit down" | |
| Well, they emptied out my pockets, took my pills and guitar picks | |
| I said "Wait, my name is" "Awe, shut up" | |
| Well, I sure was in a fix | |
| The sergeant put me in a cell, then he went home for the night | |
| I said "Come back here, you so and so, I ain't bein' treated right" | |
| Well, they're bound to get you' | |
| Cause they got a curfew | |
| And you go to the | |
| Starkville | |
| City JailI started pacin' back and forth and now and then, | |
| I'd yellAnd kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel door of my cell | |
| I'd walk awhile and kick awhile and all night nobody came | |
| Then I sadly remembered, they didn't even take my name | |
| At 8 a.m., they let me out, | |
| I said, "Gimme them things of mine!" | |
| They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick and a yellow dandelion | |
| They're bound to get you' | |
| Cause they got a curfew | |
| And you go to the | |
| Starkville | |
| City JailAnd you go to the | |
| Starkville | |
| City Jail |
