1
Officer, good evening, allow me to explain
2
the spectacle you see beside this road.
3
It's been a long, hard day, and I am just a victim
4
of circumstances beyond my control.
5
Now let me just assure you that I'm not a drinkin' man;
6
I work hard to uphold the law.
7
Those people in that other car are friends of my ex-wife,

CHORUS:
10
The car was upside down when I got here;
11
I left it right side-up some time ago.
12
Some kids drove by and poured somethin' all down my shirt;
13
it might have been tequila, I don't know.
14
I stepped into the woods for a midnight prayer,
15
I don't know what went down while I was not here,
16
but that stop sign was on the hood when I bought the car,
17
and the car was upside down when I got here.
18
Officer, my reputation speaks for itself,
19
I'm as innocent and gentle as a child.
20
That fistfight with my mama, that was three months ago;
21
I can't believe that's still on my file.
22
Now a conscientious peacekeeper such as yourself
23
must surely recognize an honest guy,
24
and since most of my money goes to charitable causes,
25
I can't afford a DWI"¦
