| I was staring at myself in the mirrored sunglasses
|
| Set on six foot five of Texas Ranger
|
| He hollered turn down your radio son
|
| I stuttered officer wha-what have I done?
|
| You were doing better than a hundred and one
|
| Why ya driving like the devil’s on your tail?
|
| I started pleading my case and getting no sympathy
|
| I said I’m in the Feat… I’m travelin' from town to town
|
| Don’t you know my face
|
| I’m on the radio most all the time
|
| And I didn’t realize I had the hammer down
|
| So please don’t haul me off to jail
|
| When the Feats are on the box the speed just slips my mind
|
| I start to sing along, tap my toe, slap the dash in time
|
| The ranger laughed and said as he looked me in the eye
|
| Son those Feat’ll steer ya wrong sometimes
|
| I was on my way to Puerto Rico on a 24 city run
|
| They promised me the world that’s what I got
|
| 'Cause Texas is a world all of its own
|
| It takes a lifetime to drive from Eastland to Van Horn
|
| He said didn’t you hear my siren whine
|
| I been chasing you since the Jim Hogg County line
|
| I was thinking real hard about tenderin' my notice
|
| But the bills came in and piled up to my chin
|
| Paul called and said we’re on our way to Rhome
|
| This tour’s gonna save your happy home
|
| Now we’re going to
|
| London, Liverpool, Italy, Paris, Egypt, Dublin, Frisco, Waco
|
| Athens, Gouldbusk, Troy, and Miami, Moody, Beaumont, Edinburgh, Lubbock
|
| Pecos, Deadwood, Fife, del Rio
|
| Houston, Austin, all around Dallas
|
| Texas is a world all of its own
|
| 'N if you let me off this time
|
| From now on I’ll keep in mind
|
| That those Feat’ll steer you wrong sometimes
|
| When the Feats are on the box the speed just slips my mind
|
| I start to sing along, tap my toe, slap the dash in time
|
| But the ranger said to me as he handed me the fine
|
| Son those Feat done steered ya wrong this time
|
| Those Feat’ll steer ya wrong sometimes |
