My Crime Lyrics - Singles - Canned Heat

I went to Denver 

Late last fall 

I went to do my job 

Yeah, I didn't break any law 

We worked a hippie place 

Like many in our land 

They couldn't bust the place 

And so they got the band 

'Cause the police in Denver 

No, they don't want none of them 

Long hairs hanging around 

And that's the reason why 

Ooh well, well they want to tear 

Canned Heat's reputation down 

You people in Denver 

Will know what I mean 

Yeah, the things I'm gonna tell ya 

Yeah, you've all heard and seen 

You remember when a cop on the beat 

Used to rob and steal 

Today they're gone but the others get it on 

So you know just how I feel 

'Cause the police in Denver 

Lord, they don't want none of them 

Long hairs hanging around 

And that's the reason why 

Ooh well, they try to tear 

Canned Heat's reputation down 

Yeah, they try to tear it down, boy 

They ain't gonna do it though 

There's nothing wrong, baby 

Let me tell you this just one more time 

Just one more thing I wanna tell ya before I go 

It's a shame the man in Denver 

Has to lie and mistreat people so 

Now six months ain't no sentence 

One year ain't no time 

When I hear from one to ten 

It worries my troubled mind 

'Cause the police in Denver 

Lord, don't want no long hairs around 

And that's the reason why 

Ooh well, well 

They try to tear 

Canned Heat's reputation down
