(Talking Lyrics ) –(Hi There. This song goes out to those inmates stuck in the Murfreesboro county jail who are there only because they can’t pay there probation fees. It goes out to my son Freddie Jr. and my cell mate “Dino”.) Hey don’t you drink and drive and cross that Rutherford County line Cause the law they will grab you and son you’re going to spend some time In that Rutherford County Workhouse, the jail is hell you know And if you don’t believe me, you can ask my cell mate “Dino” (cause he’ll know) There’s no sleeping at all cause there’s always something going on They’re playing cards all night, the cold will cut you to the bone And those days drag on and on, hey what you going to do You’re eating turkey three meals a day, taste like a rubber shoe (that’s true) (Lead Break) Don’t you ever get stuck in that Rutherford County Jail And you better have lots of dough to make that bail Cause if you don’t have the money honey you’re going to have a big story to tell You’ll be stuck there the rest of your life in that county jail (Lead Break) (ooh lawdy) In that Rutherford County Jail you don’t want to be Cause we all got one thing in common. We want to be free. But that judge with all that power don’t seem to understand you know Hey Judge I ain’t got no money, so why don’t you just let me go Don’t you ever get stuck in that Rutherford County Jail You’d be better off son just a burning in H E double L And if you’re a poor boy you’re going to have this tale to tell You’ll be stuck there the rest of your life in that county jail I said if you’re a poor boy son you’re going to have a big story to tell You’ll be stuck there the rest of your life in that Murfreesboro jail (What you going to tell your Mama son) (Woo)
