Letra
Officer, good evenin', allow me to explain
This spectacle you see beside the road
It's been a long, hard day, and I'm just a victim
Of circumstances beyond my control
Now, let me just assure you that I'm not a drinkin' man
I work hard to uphold the law
Those people in that other car
Well, they're friends of my ex-wife's
No matter what they told you they saw
That car was upside down when I got here
I left it right side up some time ago
Some kids drove by, and poured somethin' all down in my shirt
It might have been tequila, I don't know
I stepped into the woods for a midnight prayer
I don't know what went down when I was not here
That stop sign was on the windshield when I bought that car
And the car was upside down when I got here
Ah
Officer, my reputation speaks for itself
I'm as innocent, and gentle as a child
Well, that fist fight with my momma
Well, that was three months ago
I can't believe that's still on my file
Now, a conscientious peacekeeper, such as yourself
Must surely recognize an honest guy
And since most of my money
Goes to charitable causes, I can't afford no DWI
Car was upside down when I got here
I left it right side up some time ago
Some kids drove by, and poured somethin' all down in my shirt
It might have been tequila, I don't know
Well, I stepped into the woods for a midnight prayer
I don't know what went down when I was not here
That stop sign was on the windshield when I bought this car
And the car was upside down when I got here
I ain't got a clue what went on when I was not here
But the car was upside down when I got here
That's right
You gotta believe me
