Highway Patrol
Junior Brown
Album: Guit with it
A
I got a star on my car and one on my chest
A
A gun on my hips and the right to arrest
D
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway
A
So watch out what you're doing when you're driving my way
E
If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
A
I'm a-(Pause) working for the state
E A
I'm The Highway Patrol.
A
Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's painted white
A
My siren a-screaming and my flashing red lights
D
I work all day and I work all night
A
Just a-keeping law and order, trying to do what's right
E
If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow
A
I'm just a-doin' my job,
E A
I'm The Highway Patrol.

D
I'm The Highway Patrol, The Highway Patrol
A E A
My hours are long and my pay is low
D
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow
A
I'm just a-(Pause) doin' my job
E A
I'm The Highway Patrol.
A
If you're driving too fast like you shouldn't do
A
You can bet your boots I'm coming after you
D
If you wanna race, then get on a race track
A
'Cause when you try to run away, I'm gonna bring you back
E
I'm here to keep all the speeder's driving slow
A
I'm just a-doing my job,
E A
I'm The Highway Patrol.
