Mr. Policeman

Brad Paisley · 5th Gear [Arista] [2007]

Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman

Bet I can drive faster than you can

Come on Hoss, let's have some fun

Go on shoot me with your radar gun

You look bored and I sure am

Catch me if you can.



Hey, hey Mr. Policeman

I got a '75 Firebird Trans Am

With a 455 up under the hood

Me and my brother got it runnin' good

Wake up from behind them old Ray Bans

Catch me if you can.



Go on turn on your blue lights

(So Pretty)

You know you want to I just flew by

I can see you peeling out

How's my dust taste in your mouth?

Come on Smokey it's time to race

Let's have us a high-speed chase.



Well hey, hey Mr. Policeman

Chopper in the air

And a couple of SWAT vans

That's no fair now, blockin the road

Where am I supposed to go?

Time to use my backup plan

Catch me if you can.



Hey, hey Mr. Policeman

I bet I can run faster than you can

With your big pot belly and cowboy boots

A hundred bucks says you won't shoot

I know these woods like the back of my hand

Catch me if you can.



Go on turn on your spotlight

(So shiny)

I got runnin shoes and i'm younger than you

And I got all night

There's now way you're keepin' up with me

So go on back to Krispy Kreme

If you wanna quit, I understand

Catch me if you can.



Hey, hey Mr. Policeman

I said hey, hey Mr. Policeman.



I'm in the jail house now

I'm in the jail house now

They told me once or twice

"Son, respect my athoriti."

I'm in the jail house now...
