Europe - Mr. Government Man lyrics

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 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
