My Crime 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
Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hangin' 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've gone, but the others get it on
So you'll know just how I feel

'Cause the police in Denver
Lord, they don't want none of them long hairs hangin' around
And that's the reason why
Ooh well, they're tryin' to tear Canned Heat's reputation down
