And now if you folks just quiet down GD Hall now proudly presents for your enjoyment
Mr.
Hoyt Axton
[A] Thank you folks
[Bb] I'm the cop in [Eb] a little bitty [F] town and I don't get [Bb] much pay
Oh, but I caught 17 out-of-state cars for my friends today
Yeah, let the hometown [Bb] boys go [F] home they paid five [Bb] dollars bail
Oh, but all the drivers in the out-of-state cars [G] had to go to jail
Yeah, the hollered and they moaned and they cried and [F] they groaned they all swore [Bb] that they'd sue
But judge was high and so was I and we did the money, too
It a judge and me got a deal you see we split the money fair
Zip 30% [Eb] to the county seat keep the law [Bb] out of our hair
And old Charlie's working out real good down at the corner store where the red light is
He [Eb] sees them out-of-state [F] plates two blocks [Bb] away
When they get right up on top of that green [F] light Oh Charlie [Bb] pushes that secret button underneath the [Eb] corner drugstore counter [F] secret button
[Bb] That yellow light only lasts for a tenth of a [F] second
[Bb] Yeah, the county pays me about 40 a week [F] ain't that the living [Bb] in if it wasn't for them [Eb] tourists in them out-of-state [F] cars
I'd have no loop to [Bb] spin
But the way it stands this year so far [F] I've made 400 [Bb] foul for a high school dropout
I'm doing [C] fine.
I make more than the [Bb] president now for a high school [Eb] dropout.
I'm doing [C] fine
I make more than the [Bb] president now
Of course, he's honest
So if you're driving down the road [F] and flashing light you [Bb] see
If they're on top of a red Rolls [F] Royce, you can get your boots.
[Bb] It's me
Cuz I'm the cop in a little bitty town [F] not sure like to [Bb] see
All your drivers in them out-of-state [F] cars
[Bb] [C]
Can I go now?
Yeah, you can go you'll find singing this beat for your speeding ticket, you know something boss
You're a real prince.
Oh, I mean, well, maybe not a prince maybe more like a Bartlett
Fuck is that good?
Oh, yeah.
Oh
[Ab] Let [Db] me take a picture of your bar mitch in case y'all didn't know a violet is a good old boy gone [Eb] bad
And that's rare even
