Highway Patrol - Junior Brown
Verse 1:
[C] I got a star on my car and one on my chest
[C] A gun on my hip and the right to arrest
I'm the [F] guy who's the boss on this highway
So [C] watch out what you're doing when you're driving my way
If you [G] break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
I'm a [C*] (NC) working for the state
I'm The [G] Highway [C] Patrol.
Verse 2:
[C] Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's painted white
[C] My siren a-screaming and my flashing red lights
I work [F] all day and I work all night
Just a [C] keeping law and order, trying to do what's right
If I [G] write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow
I'm just a [C*] (NC) doin' my job,
I'm The [G] Highway [C] Patrol.
|[Chorus]
|I'm The [F] Highway Patrol, The Highway Patrol
|My [C] hours are long and my [G] pay is [C] low
|But I'll [F] do my best to keep you driving slow
|I'm just a [C*] (NC) doin' my job
|I'm The [G] Highway [C] Patrol.
Verse 3:
[C] If you're driving too fast like you shouldn't do
[C] You can bet your boots I'm coming after you
If you [F] wanna race, then get on a race track
'Cause [C] when you try to run away, I'm gonna bring you back
I'm here to [G] keep all the speeder's driving slow
I'm justa [C*] (NC) doing my job,
I'm The [G] Highway [C] Patrol.
|[Chorus]
|I'm The [F] Highway Patrol, The Highway Patrol
|My [C] hours are long and my [G] pay is [C] low
|But I'll [F] do my best to keep you driving slow
|I'm just a [C*] (NC) doin' my job
|I'm The [G] Highway [C] Patrol.
