Framed Jerry Reed

I was walkin' down the street, kinda mindin' my own affairs
When a policeman walked up to me, kinda unaware
He said, Son, is your name Jerry Reed? I said, Why sure
He said, Whaddayaknow son, you the one we been lookin' for
I said, Unh-uh, I'm bein' framed, I'm bein' framed
I said, Officer, I don't never do nothin' wrong
But I always get the blame, I get framed

He took me down to the lineup and let the bright lights shine
There was nine other poor souls with me up there in that line
But I had a feelin' I was a victim of somebody's evil plan
'Cause this woman pointed her finger at me and said, That skinny one, he's the man
I said, Unh-uh woman, I'm bein' framed
Lord, I'm bein' framed
I said, Woman, I don't never do nothin' wrong
But honey I always get the blame, I get framed

Well, then the prosecutin' attorney started prosecutin' on me
Started jumpin' up and down, stompin' his feet, givin' me the third degree
He said, Son, where was you on the night of October 29?
I said, I was down at Tootsie's, he said, Judge, that man's lyin'
I said, No I ain't, I'm bein' framed
Bein' framed
I said, Judge, I don't never do nothin' wrong
But I always get the blame
