I got in a little trouble at the county seat 
Lord, they put me in the jailhouse 
For loafing on the street 
Well, the judge said guilty 
He made his point 
He said forty-five dollars 
Or thirty days in the joint 

That'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun 
You can take your choice 
You're twenty-one 
No money down 
No credit plan 
No time to chase you 
'Cause I'm a busy man 

I found a telephone number on a laundry slip 
I had a good, hardy jailor 
With a six gun hip 
He let me call long distance 
She said, "Number, please" 
And just as soon as I told her 
She shouted back at me 

Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun 
Not part, not half 
But the entire sum 
No money down 
No credit line 
'Cause a little boy tells me 
You're the travelin' kind 

Thirty days in the jailhouse 
Four days on the road 
I was feelin' mighty hungry 
My feet, a heavy load 
I saw a Greyhound comin' 
Stuck out my thumb 
As soon as I was seated 
The driver caught my arm 

Said that'll be cash on the barrelhead, hun 
This old, grey dog gets paid to run 
When the engine starts 
And the wheels will roll 
Give me cash on the barrelhead 
I take ya down the road 
Ohh, cash on the barrelhead 
I take you down the road
