Intro 1
G
C
G
I'm
Verse 1
C
F
the cop in a little bitty town
G
C
and I don't get much pay
G
C
Oh, but I caught seventeen
F
out -of -state cars
G
C
and four of my friends today
G
C
G
Yeah, I let the hometown
F
boys go home,
G
C
they paid five dollars bail
Oh, but all the drivers in the
F
out -of -state cars
G
C
had to go to jail
G
C
Well, hollered and they moaned
G
F
and they cried and they groaned
G
They all swore that they'd sue
C
F
But the judge was high and so was I
G
C
And we needed the money too
Am
G
C
G
F
Gee, the judge and me got a deal, you see
G
C
We split the money fair
G
F
Sip a 30 % to the county seat
G
C
to keep the law out of our hair
G
C
And old Charlie's working
G
C
F
out real good
G
down at the corner store
C
where the red light is
G
F
He sees them out -of -state plates
G
two blocks away
C
And when they get right up
G
Fm
F
on top of that green light
G
Old Charlie pushes that
C
secret button
G
underneath the corner
C
F
drugstore counter
G
That yellow light only lasts for
C
a tenth of a second
G
C
G
Either count or pay about
F
forty a week,
G
C
ain't that the living end?
If it wasn't for them touristin'
F
out -of -state cars,
G
I'd have no loot to spend
C
G
C
F
But the way it stands this year so far,
G
C
I've made a hundred foul
G
For a high school dropout,
F
I'm a -doin' fine
G
C
I make more than the president now,
of course he's honest
G
C
G
C
F
So if you're drivin' down the road
G
C
and flashin' lights, you see
G
C
F
If they're on top of a red Rolls Royce,
G
C
you can bet your boots it's me
G
C
Because I'm the cop in
F
a little bitty town,
G
C
and I'd sure like to see
G
C
F
All you drivers in them out -of -state cars
G
try to get by me
C
G
