“Come on boys, let’s hit the road!”
“Ayo, guys, kita berangkat!”
We left L.A. on Sunday, in Lubbock by Tuesday
Kami meninggalkan L.A. pada hari Minggu, sampai Lubbock pada hari Selasa
That’s where we played our second show
Di situlah kami main show kedua kami
Where nobody knew us, so nobody noticed the songs that the band didn’t know
Di mana tidak ada yang mengenal kami, jadi tidak ada yang memperhatikan lagu-lagu yang tidak kami kuasai
We were eatin’ up the white lines, makin’ good time
Kami melahap jalanan, melaju dengan cepat
Diggin’ the songs on the radio
Nikmatin lagu-lagu di radio
And that party kept a movin’ and you know what we were doin’
Dan pesta itu terus bergulir, dan kalian tahu apa yang kami lakukan
We were smokin’ up that California gold
Kami lagi ngerokok ganja dari California

Now everyone was glad, “The Weight” played by The Band
Sekarang semua orang senang, “The Weight” dibawakan oleh The Band
You know I never had that song ever let me down
Kalian tahu, lagu itu tidak pernah mengecewakan saya
And I didn’t notice I was speedin’ but in the rear-view mirror blinkin’
Dan saya tidak sadar saya lagi ngebut, tapi di kaca spion berkedip
Were them state trooper’s lights all spinnin’ ‘round
Ada lampu polisi yang berputar-putar
We rolled down the windows, so we didn’t think that he would notice
Kami buka jendela, jadi kami tidak pikir dia akan curiga
Something smellin’ funny in that smoke cloud
Ada bau aneh di awan asap itu
And he asked, “What you boys a-hidin’?” and we were all silent
Dan dia bertanya, “Apa yang kalian sembunyikan, nak?” dan kami semua diam
‘Cause I think he heard us clear and loud
Karena saya rasa dia mendengar kami dengan jelas

And we were busted
Dan kami tertangkap
Busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap di Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap, tertangkap di Baylor County
“Oh no, my Weed!”
“Oh tidak, ganjaku!”
He spread us all along the highway, cuffed us all and turned us away
Dia menyebar kami di sepanjang jalan, menggeledah kami dan mengusir kami
And started pokin’ round the truck for cake
Dan mulai menggeledah truk untuk mencari barang haram
And we all stood there high as a kite, and he found it alright
Dan kami semua berdiri di sana dalam keadaan mabuk, dan dia menemukannya
And don’t y’all make light of the number one dope dog in the state
Dan jangan kalian anggap remeh anjing detektor narkoba nomor satu di negara bagian ini
That mutt found the joint in my pocket that was buried and locked up
Anjing itu menemukan rokok ganja di saku saya yang tersembunyi dan terkunci
In the back of the trailer underneath the guitars and the piano seat
Di belakang trailer di bawah gitar dan kursi piano
And off we went to jail all locked up in a cell
Dan kami dibawa ke penjara, semua terkunci dalam sel
Charged with possession of that sweet leaf
Didakwa memiliki daun manis itu

And we were busted
Dan kami tertangkap
Busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap di Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap, tertangkap di Baylor County
Now I was still pretty buzzed when they called in the judge
Sekarang saya masih agak mabuk ketika mereka memanggil hakim
Who greeted me with a smile and a warm handshake
Yang menyambut saya dengan senyuman dan jabat tangan hangat
And he said, “I’m so sorry,” ‘cause they couldn’t unarrest us
Dan dia bilang, “Saya sangat menyesal,” karena mereka tidak bisa membebaskan kami
But that was up to some other official magistrate
Tapi itu tergantung pada hakim resmi lainnya
And he said, “Don’t you worry, son, all the charges are gone
Dan dia bilang, “Jangan khawatir, nak, semua tuduhan sudah hilang
But I’ve got a few autographs for you to sign.”
Tapi saya punya beberapa tanda tangan untuk kamu tanda tangani.”
And they sprang us out right quick, so we could get up on the stick
Dan mereka cepat membebaskan kami, jadi kami bisa segera berangkat
To Wichita Falls by show time
Menuju Wichita Falls sebelum waktu show
To tell ‘em...
Untuk memberi tahu mereka...
We were busted
Kami tertangkap
Busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap di Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap, tertangkap di Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap, tertangkap di Baylor County
Busted, busted in Baylor County
Tertangkap, tertangkap di Baylor County
