Lyrics Speed Trap Boogie - Greg Brown

Speed Trap Boogie

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
