A   G   D  twice
 
A
Officer, good evening, allow me to explain 
A                                 D
This spectacle you see beside the road
    E 
Its been a long hard day, and I’m just a victim
                              A     G  D 
of circumstances beyond my control
    A 
Now let me just assure you that I’m not a drinkin man
A                         D   
I work hard to uphold the law
      E
Those people in that other car, well they’re friends of my ex wife
                                  A     G  D
No matter what they told you they saw


Chorus:
    A
The car was upside down when I got here
  A                                D 
I left it right side up some time ago
     D                                  A           F#
Some kids drove by and poured something all down my shirt
   B7                               E7
It might have been tequila, I don’t know
  A
I just stepped in the woods for a midnight prayer
  A                                     D 
I don’t know what went down while I was not here 
     D                               A                 F#
That stop sign was on the windshield when I bought the car 
        B7             E7          A
And the car was upside down when I got here


Officer, my reputation speaks for itself
I’m as innocent and gentle as a child
That fist fight with my momma, well that was 3 months ago
I cant believe that’s still on my file
Now a conscientious peacekeeper such as yourself
Must surely recognize an honest guy
And since most of my money goes to charitable causes
I cant afford no DWI

Chorus

I ain’t got a clue what went down while I was not here
But the car was upside down when I got here
That’s right
You gotta believe me
