Patrick Sweany
Police Car Blues
On I-44 about a half past 2
A round headed man tryin' to give me the blues

Wants to take a look inside my van
No reason that he should
He just thinks he can

I look like someone he could push around
I got nothin' for you man
Lord I'm blue note bound
Said I look nervous sittin' in that car
Well you'd be nervous too sittin' where I are


I don't like it
Don't stop me
Keep rollin'
Police car blues

I'm "Yes, sir", "No, sir"
Turn off the ignition
Out of state plates isn't cause for suspicion
Man with a ghillie in a red and blue light
Long hair in a van easy pickin' tonight
No other reason other than the way I look
Well nothin' I can do but play by that book


But you're heart don't seem???, to fight much crime
When he pullin' me over when it cross his mind

I don't like it
Don't stop me
Keep rollin'
Police car blues

I learned my lesson long time ago
When I got searched comin' back from the show
Doing their job, takin' bites outta crime
Hard to see 'em just like friends of mine

I saw a guy get beat
I called the cop
I saw the guy who did it
While we're loading out


Saw a man beat to puddy
They didn't care
Said, "Move your van or get towed outta here"
