I Outran The Cops

from I Can Smell The Asparagus by the stragglers

/

lyrics

With the windows down for the summer breeze
Was it my red car or tattooed sleeves?
It was a clear and sunny day
I outran the cops

I thank that truck as he blocked the path
I took a quick right turn avoided aftermath
It was a clear and sunny day
I outran the cops

Just don't tell my mother
And don't tell my girlfriend
You know they'll nag and nag me
Yeah I won't hear the end
Please don't tell your brother
I know what he intends to do
That dirtbag, rat, cokehead
Poor excuse of a friend
Mark my fucking words

I back tracked through residential streets
And I didn't slow down to try and lose the heat
Yeah I continued on my way and I didn't stop

It wasn't that far from the overpass
Yeah I shifted quick and then I hit the gas
It was a clear and sunny day
I outran the cops

Just don't tell my mother
And don't tell my girlfriend
You know they'll nag and nag me
Yeah I won't hear the end
Please don't tell your brother
I know what he intends to do
That dirtbag, rat, cokehead
Poor excuse of a friend
Mark my fucking words

Just don't tell my mother
And don't tell my girlfriend
You know they'll nag and nag me
Yeah I won't hear the end
Please don't tell your brother
I know what he intends to do
That dirtbag, rat, cokehead
Poor excuse of a friend
Mark my fucking words
