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

Oh 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 you

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

Oh 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

Let me tell you this just one more time

Just one more thing I wanna tell you

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

Oh well well they try to tear canned heat's reputation down
