Junior Brown - Highway Patrol Chords

A
I got a star on my car and one on my chest
A
A gun on my hips and the right to arrest
         D
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway
   A
So watch out what you're doing when you're driving my way
        E
If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
        A
I'm a-(Pause) working for the state
        E         A
I'm The Highway Patrol.

A
Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's painted white
A
My siren a-screaming and my flashing red lights
         D
I work all day and I work all night
        A
Just a-keeping law and order, trying to do what's right
        E
If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow
        A
I'm just a-doin' my job, 
        E         A
I'm The Highway Patrol.

My hours are long and my pay is low
         D
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow

I'm just a-(Pause) doin' my job
        E          A
I'm The Highway Patrol.

A
If you're driving too fast like you shouldn't do
A
You can bet your boots I'm coming after you
         D
If you wanna race, then get on a race track
      A
'Cause when you try to run away, I'm gonna bring you back

            E
I'm here to keep all the speeder's driving slow
          A
I'm just a-doing my job, 
        E          A
I'm The Highway Patrol.
