I could tell you that I was a christian

And I dont guess that would be a lie

I could tell you that I was church of christ

And I dont guess you could prove me wrong

So dont trouble no policeman

Hes got a wife and kids of his own

And dont trouble yer neighbor

Cause they just want to be left alone

I suppose if I was a demon

I might have bugs all over my legs

It might make sense for me ttangle

With my wife for awhile

So dont trouble no policeman

Hes got a wife and kids of his own

And dont trouble yer neighbor

Cause they just want to be left alone

Lord aint this nation lonely
