Speed Trap (Out Of State Cars) - Hoyt Axton

Written by：Hoyt Axton

I'm the cop in a little bitty town

And I don't get much pay

Oh but I caught seventeen out of state cars

And four of my friends today

Yeah I let the hometwon boys go home

They paid five dollars bail

Oh but all the drivers in the out of state cars

Had to go to jail

Yeah they hollered and they moaned

They cried and they groaned

They all swore that they'd sue

But the judge was high and so was I

And we needed the money due

Yeah the judge and me got a deal you see

We split the money fair

'Cept thirty percent to the county seat

Keep the law out of our hair

And ol' Charlie's workin' out real good

At down at the corner store

Where the red light is

He sees them out of state

Plates two blocks away

When they get right on top of that green

Light ol' Charlie pushes that secret

Button underneath the corner ** store

Counter and that yellow light only

Lasts for a tenth of a second

Yeah the county pays me about fourty a week

Ain't that the livin' end

If it wasn't for them tourists

In them out of state cars

I'd have no loot to spend

But the way it stands this year so far

I've made four hundred thou

For a high school drop out I'm doin' fine

I'm makin' more than the president now

For dishonest

So if you're drivin' down the road

And a flashin' light you see

If they're on top of a red rolls royce

You can bet your boots it's me

'Cause I'm the cop in a little bitty town

And I'd sure like to see

All you drivers in them out of state cars

Try to get by me
