Side Of The Road

Intro: He's got a flat wheel at the side of the road, The rain's coming down, it's getting cold, A car pulls over on the interstate, Says wait there, I gotta check your plates. He comes back to sound the alarm, Makes it clear to the boy that he's armed, Says I don't know if I've seen you around, We don't get your type in our town. Officer I grew up in this town, Surely you must've seen me around, I go to school with two o' your sons, Maybe you saw me at a game that we won. He said boy step out o' the car, I don't want you goin' to far, Where is it you said you were from again, 'cause I don't think I was listenin'. I don't remember tellin' you you could speak; show some respect to members of the police. Do you know what I could do to you? Do you know what I could put you through? Officer I grew up in this town, Surely you must've seen me around, I go to school with two o' your sons, Maybe you saw me at a game that we won. I am headed to my girlfriends place, 'nd yeah it's been a while since I checked my plates, but I assure you when tomorrow comes, I'll get 'em fixed and no harm will be done.

He said what planet do you think that I'm from? There was a pause and the moment was tight, the boy knew he couldn't win this fight. So he turned and he ran like the wind, shots fired and the bullets went in. And he thought as he lay on the ground I can't believe I'm gonna die in this town. Officer when are you gonna learn, That one day it's gonna be your turn? This boy was friends with two o' your kids, How are you gonna tell 'em what you did? He was headed to his girlfriends place, yeah, it wasn't right he hadn't checked his plates, but he assured you when tomorrow came, he was gonna make it right again. ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo ooooooo
