Speed Trap Boogie - Greg Brown

It’s a nice little town

It’s a clean little town

It’s a nice little, clean little, happy little, friendly little

— town for miles around

But you’re speedin'

Speedin'

Pull it over

Roll down the window

And lay your money down

We got a new swimmin' pool

We got a new town hall

A new old folks home and a bowlin alley

You didn’t see none a that at all

You’re speedin'

Speedin'

Pull it over

Roll down the window

And lay your money down

I know it’s 3o'clock in the morn

I know that you been drivin' through

Corn, corn, corn

Your eyes are red and you look unhappy

Here is my advice

Check into a motel

Folks here are real nice

(instrumental break)

Your left tail light’s out

I’m gonna let that pass

I see your license expired yesterday

And I believe you’re nearly out of gas

And you’re speedin'

Speedin'

Pull it over

Roll down the window

And lay your money down

Just lay it down

Cash

Now

It’s the town —

We live here

You can’t go twelve through here
