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
