On the Road To the Courthouse

I'm on the road to the courthouse I'm just trying to get a break I've been told the house needs fixing That the work I've done is late I've tried to stay up with all the codes Just one slip up and I am fined I'm on the road to the courthouse It seems I might be out of time I used to live out in the country The rules were few compared to these A house there could be falling down Without there being penalties I soon will know just what he'll say Will I be found then innocent Or will it be the piper that I pay It is the former that I pray I'm on the road to the courthouse
