One thirty in the morning Im lying in bed, my dog is sleeping on the floor
I see a light in my window, my dog barks and someone knocks on my door
Who is it? I said as I jump out of bed and grab some pants from my laundry heap
Dont you know what time it is? Ive got to go to work tomorrow and Im trying to get some sleep.

The man outside said Its the police and I got a piece of paper saying I can come in
I said Now whats this about? He said We saw you outside fighting with your girlfriend
I said That? Oh yeah, well we got it straightened out she was just messing with my head.
He said That aint what we hear, took the cuffs from his belt looked at me and said

You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law
You have the right to an attorney
If you cant afford one, one will be appointed for you

Im walking down the street coming back from this place where I go when I gotta fill my need
With some of that real kind bud, thats all sticky and green, without any stems or seeds
I slip into the alley roll a quick one up, I light it, then I take a drag
I feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around and Im face to face with a badge
(Little eagle on the badge looks at me and it says)

You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law
You have the right to an attorney
If you cant afford one, one will be appointed for you

Oh Miranda
Oh Miranda
Oh Miranda
Dontcha know yer killing me!

Im gonna move to the country, live somewhere out on a quiet farm
Have a great big house and a couple of horses stabled out in the barn
Live a hundred miles away from town, out where there aint nobody near
That way I can do as I please and wont never never never have to hear

You have the right to remain silent
Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law
You have the right to an attorney
If you cant afford one, one will be appointed for you
