Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G]I'm

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