Junior Brown - The Highway Patrol guitar chord

(A) I got a star on my car and one on my chest

A gun on my hips and the right to arrest

I'm the (D) guy who's the boss on this highway

So (A) watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way

If you (E) break the law, you'll hear from me, I know

I'm a-(A) (Pause) workin' for the state

I'm The (E) Highway Pat-(A) rol.

Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's painted white

My siren a-screamin' and my flashin' red lights

I work all day and I work all night

Just a-keepin' law and order, tryin' to do what's right

If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow

I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol.

REFRAIN

I'm The (D) Highway Patrol, The Highway Patrol

My (A) hours are long and my (E) pay is (A) low

But I'll (D) do my best to keep you drivin' slow

I'm just a-(A) (Pause) doin' my job

I'm The (E) Highway Pat-(A) rol.

If you're drivin' too fast like you shouldn't do

You can bet your boots I'm comin' after you

If you wanna race, then get on a race track

'Cause when you try to run away, I'm gonna bring you back

I'm here to keep all the speeder's drivin' slow

I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm The Highway Patrol.
