THE HIGHWAY PATROL
Recorded by Junior Brown
Words and music by Simpson, Rush and Payne
A I got a star on my car and one on my chest
A gun on my hips and the right to arrest
I'm the D guy who's the boss on this highway
So A watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way
If you E break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
I'm a-{A} {Pause} workin' for the state
I'm The E Highway Pat-{A} rol.
Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's painted white
My siren a-screamin' and my flashin' red lights
I work all day and I work all night
Just a-keepin' law and order, tryin' to do what's right
If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol.
REFRAIN
I'm The D Highway Patrol, The Highway Patrol
My A hours are long and my E pay is A low
But I'll D do my best to keep you drivin' slow
I'm just a-{A} {Pause} doin' my job
I'm The E Highway Pat-{A} rol.
If you're drivin' too fast like you shouldn't do
You can bet your boots I'm comin' after you
If you wanna race, then get on a race track
'Cause when you try to run away, I'm gonna bring you back
I'm here to keep all the speeder's drivin' slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol.
