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
