Straight-laced leather-faced he rolled in like he owned the two-bit town
  
  Dollar bills bulging from his bell bottomed jeans
  The population they gathered 'round
  Nothing this exciting since a fertilizer truck
  Blew a front tire and landed in the creek
  
  Everybody talkin' everybody strainin'
  Tryin' to get a little peek
  It's just the world they'll never know
  Not a country fair side show
  Reality they'll somehow never see
  He's what they've tried to kill
  With their Bibles and their stills
  But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
  
  Payin' for the gas he quickly shouted thanks
  And continued on his journey once again
  Just about the time a siren fast approached and
  The pot bellied sheriff he whizzed right in
  With his self inflicted grammar started shoutin'
  Accusations at the long haired greasy looking ape
  While a local DJ from the fifty watt station got the
  whole damn thing on tape
  
  It's just the world they'll never know
  Not a country fair side show
  Reality they'll somehow never see
  He's what they've tried to kill
  With their Bibles and their stills
  But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
  
  The holy roller preacher told the eager congregation
  That the devil has passed right through their nest
  But the teenage girls with their locks in curls were
  A talkin' 'bout that hair upon his chest
  Now the kids got their cookies while the preacher
  Saved some souls and the story spread to everyone in sight
  Commotion was the word and everybody heard
  He was gone before the night
  
  It's just the world they'll never know
  Not a country fair side show
  Reality they'll somehow never see
  He's what they've tried to kill
  With their Bibles and their stills
  But he's not weird just a man that's bein' free
