I could tell you that I was a christian



and I don't guess that would be a lie



I could tell you that I was church of christ



and I don't guess you could prove me wrong



so don't trouble no policeman



he's got a wife and kids of his own



and don't 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 t'tangle



with my wife for awhile



so don't trouble no policeman



he's got a wife and kids of his own



and don't trouble yer neighbor



cause they just want to be left alone



Lord ain't this nation lonely
