Police Car Blues - Patrick Sweany

On I-44 about a half past 2

A round headed man tryin' to give me the blues

Wants to take a look inside my van

No reason that he should

He just thinks he can

I look like someone he could push around

I got nothin' for you man

Lord I’m blue note bound

Said I look nervous sittin' in that car

Well you’d be nervous too sittin' where I are

I don’t like it

Don’t stop me

Keep rollin'

Police car blues

I’m «Yes, sir», «No, sir»

Turn off the ignition

Out of state plates isn’t cause for suspicion

Man with a ghillie in a red and blue light

Long hair in a van easy pickin' tonight

No other reason other than the way I look

Well nothin' I can do but play by that book

But you’re heart don’t seem???, to fight much crime

When he pullin' me over when it cross his mind

I don’t like it

Don’t stop me

Keep rollin'

Police car blues

I learned my lesson long time ago

When I got searched comin' back from the show

Doing their job, takin' bites outta crime

Hard to see 'em just like friends of mine

I saw a guy get beat

I called the cop

I saw the guy who did it

While we’re loading out

Saw a man beat to puddy

They didn’t care

Said, «Move your van or get towed outta here»

Sayonara

Auf wiedersehen

What happened?
