Key: D
Introduction:
D D7 G D
I saw those blue lights flashing over my left shoulder
D G A
He walked right up and said get off that riding mower
D D7 G D
I said sir, let me explain before you put me in the tank
D G D A D
She took my keys away and then she won't drive me to drink
G D
I need a honky tonk song, a cold, cold beer
D A
A hardwood floor, a smoky atmosphere
G D G
A pocket full of change to last me all night long
D A D
I'd rather hear old Hank a-moanin' a honky tonk song
Guitar
D G D
He didn't show me much compassion when I tried to walk that line
D G D A
As he put those handcuffs on me, I said give me one more try
D G D
He never even cracked a smile when he threw me in car
D G D A D
So I said, sir, if you don't mind, would you drop me off at a bar
