I'm on the lam from the law boy
On the lam from the law
I never pick up no certified mail
You never know what it's for
If anybody asks you tell them I'm not home
I'm gonna take my number
Off this bugged telephone
You see I never did, I never knew, I never saw
On the lam from the law
I'm on the lam from the law boy
On the lam from the law
As if death wasn't enough boy
They never leave you alone
If anybody asks you don't know where I am
I don't know how I got myself into this terrible jam
You see I never did, I never knew, I never saw
On the lam from the law
No dirty words in my song
I drive with my seat belt on
Got sued and lost what a scam
See you in court
Get in line what a jam
I'm on the lam from the law boy
On the lam from the law
I never pick up no certified mail
You never know what it's for
If anybody asks you tell them you don't know where I am
I don't know how I got myself Into this terrible jam
I never did, I never knew, I never saw
I'm on the lam from the law
I'm on the lam from the law
I'm on the lam from the law
