Lyrics

I was staring at myself in the mirrored sunglasses
At all six foot five of a Texas Ranger
He hollered, "Turn down your radio, son"
I stuttered, "Officer, what, what have I done?"
"Well, you were doing better than a hundred and one
Why you driving like the devil's on your tail?"
I started pleading my case and getting no sympathy
Said, "I'm in the beat, I'm traveling from town to town
Don't you know my face?
I'm on the radio most all the time
And I didn't realize I had the hammer down
So please don't you haul me off to jail
When the feet are on a bike, the speed just slips my mind
I start to sing along and tap my toe, slap the dash in time"
The Ranger laughed and said as he looked me in the eye
"Son, those feet'll steer you wrong sometimes"
I was on my way to Puerto Rico on a twenty-four city run
They promised me the wild and that's what I got
'Cause Texas is a world all of its own
It takes a lifetime to drive from Eastland to Van Horn
He said, "Didn't you hear my siren whine?
I've been chasing you since the Jim Hogg County line"
Well, I was thinking real hard about tendering my notice
But the bills came in and piled up to my chin
Paul called and said, "We're on our way to Rome
And this tour's gonna see your happy home
Now we're going to London, Liverpool, Italy, Paris
Egypt, Dublin, Frisco, Waco
Athens, Goolbus, Troy and Miami
Moody, Beaumont, Edward, Lubbock
Lake Coast, Deadwood, Five Del Rio
Houston, Austin, all around Dallas
Texas is a world all of its own
And if you let me off this time
From now on I'll keep in mind
That those feet'll steer you wrong sometimes
When the feet are on a bike, the speed just slips my mind
I start to sing along and tap my toe, slap the dash in time"
But the Ranger said to me as he handed me the fine
"Son, those feet done steered you wrong this time
Those feet'll steer you wrong sometimes"
