My Crime

歌詞

I went to Denver Late last fall I went to do my job Yeah I didn't break any law We worked a hippie place Like many in our land They couldn't bust the place And so they got the band 'Cause the police in Denver No, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around And that's the reason why They want to tear Canned Heat's reputation down You people in Denver Will know what I mean Yeah, the things I'm gonna tell ya Yeah, you've all heard and seen You remember when a cop on the beat Used to rob and steal Today they're gone, but the others get it on So you know just how I feel 'Cause the police in Denver Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hanging around And that's the reason why They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy They ain't gonna do it though Let me tell you this just one more time Just one more thing I wanna tell ya Before I go It's a shame the Man in Denver Has to lie and mistreat people so Now six months ain't no sentence One year ain't no time When I hear from one to ten It worries my troubled mind 'Cause the police in Denver Lord, don't want no long hairs around And that's the reason why They try to tear Canned Heat's reputation down
