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]Pause) 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 [C]a-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](Pause) 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 just [C]a-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](Pause) doin' my job
|I'm The [G]Highway [C]Patrol.
