Officer, good evening, allow me to explain
This spectacle you see beside the road
Its been a long hard day, and I'm just a victim
of circumstances beyond my control
Now let me just assure you that I'm not a drinkin man
I work hard to uphold the law
Those people in that other car, well they're friends of my ex wife
No matter what they told you they saw
The car was upside down when I got here
I left it right side up some time ago
Some kids drove by and poured something all down my shirt
It might have been tequila, I don't know
I just stepped in the woods for a midnight prayer
I don't know what went down while I was not here
That stop sign was on the windshield when I bought the car
And the car was upside down when I got here
Officer, my reputation speaks for itself
I'm as innocent and gentle as a child
That fist fight with my momma, well that was 3 months ago
I cant believe that's still on my file
Now a conscientious peacekeeper such as yourself
Must surely recognize an honest guy
And since most of my money goes to charitable causes
I cant afford no DWI
The car was upside down when I got here
I left it right side up some time ago
Some kids drove by and poured something all down my shirt
It might have been tequila, I don't know
I just stepped in the woods for a midnight prayer
I don't know what went down while I was not here
That stop sign was on the windshield when I bought the car
And the car was upside down when I got here
I ain't got a clue what went down while I was not here
But the car was upside down when I got here
That's right
You gotta believe me
