Time’s were tough, we were tougher
Couldn’t cut a profit on our crops so we went with another
All that cash blew our cover
Soon our little county got a visit paid by Big Brother
Never offered DC a piece of the pie
Now they’re trying to pin us for a crime
Mary Jane’s hiding in the back of that field
Sam sent his boys but our lips are sealed
Ain’t nobody round here gonna run their mouth
Mighta broke the law but they’ll never break us down
Sam can print his own, don’t gotta grow his own money
Passing more than tobacco when you’re driving down the road
Little green turns to gold for the folks in Kentucky
Feds will never find the fire, they can only smell the smoke
They snooped around, made accusations
Never found a thing even after all of their interrogations
They could chase us, but couldn’t change us
Nothing gonna uproot what made us
Mary Jane’s hiding in the back of that field
Sam sent his boys but our lips are sealed
Ain’t nobody round here gonna run their mouth
Mighta broke the law but they’ll never break us down
Sam can print his own, don’t gotta grow his own money
Passing more than tobacco when you’re driving down the road
Little green turns to gold for the folks in Kentucky
Feds will never find the fire, they can only smell the smoke
The sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home
We bit our tongues till the case was closed
Mary Jane’s hiding in the back of that field
Sam sent his boys but our lips are sealed
Ain’t nobody round here gonna run their mouth
Mighta broke the law but they’ll never break us down
Sam can print his own, don’t gotta grow his own money
Passing more than tobacco when you’re driving down the road
Little green turns to gold for the folks in Kentucky
Feds will never find the fire, they can only smell the smoke
They can only smell the smoke
