Well I left my motel room down at the Starkville Motel

The town had gone to sleep and I was feeling fairly well

I strolled along the sidewalk neath the sweet magnolia trees

I was whistling picking flowers swaying in the southern breeze

I found myself surrounded one policeman said That's him

Come along wild flower child Don't you know that it's two a m

They're bound to get you

Cause they got a curfew

And you go to the Starkville City jail

Well they threw me in the car and started driving into town

I said What the hell did I do He said Shut up and sit down

Well they emptied out my pockets took my pills and guitar picks

I said Wait my name is Awe shut up Well I sure was in a fix

The sergeant put me in a cell then he went home for the night

I said Come back here you so and so I ain't being treated right

Well they're bound to get you cause they got a curfew

And you go to the Starkville City Jail

I started pacing back and forth and now and then I'd yell

And kick my forty dollar shoes against the steel floor of my cell

I'd walk awhile and kick awhile and all night nobody came

Then I sadly remembered that they didn't even take my name

At 8 a m they let me out I said Gimme them things of mine

They gave me a sneer and a guitar pick and a yellow dandelion

They're bound to get you cause they got a curfew

And you go to the Starkville City Jail

And you go to the Starkville City Jail
