"Innocent Man" lyrics - MIKE CAMPBELL & THE DIRTY KNOBS
Crossed the border just about midnight
Cop said "pull over and get in line, boy"
Ain't got nothin' in the trunk of my car
Just some Ludwig drums and an old guitar
[Chorus:]
Playin' all night, sleepin' all day
Ain't much else worth doin' anyway
It's all I can do to keep the woes at bay
I'm an innocent man
I'm an innocent man
Attack trained dogs on a bus
Sniffin' around for angel dust
Drag me in like a criminal
Then they called in the constable
[Chorus:]
I wound up in a cold jail cell
Starin' at the walls all by myself
This side of heaven is cold as hell
I'm an innocent man
I'm an innocent man
[Guitar solo]
If I ever get my citizen papers
Get a good job doin' hard labor
Bound to come through, seen the Lord later
Maybe you could be my one, true savior
[Chorus:]
One of these days, it won't take long
You'll look for me, and I'll be gone
Ain't ever done nobody no wrong
I'm an innocent man
I'm an innocent man
Innocent man
