He's got a flat wheel at the side of the road,
D                                      G
The rain's coming down, it's getting cold,
A                                   D
A car pulls over on the interstate,
G                                         A
Says wait there, I gotta check your plates.
D                             G
He comes back to sound the alarm,
D                                     G
Makes it clear to the boy that he's armed,
A                                        D
Says I don't know if I've seen you around,
G                                A

A                                   G

A                                     D
Where is it you said you were from again,
G                                A
'cause I don't think I was listenin'.
D                                         G
I don't remember tellin' you you could speak;
D                                       G
show some respect to members of the police.
A                                D
Do you know what I could do to you?
G                                     A
Do you know what I could put you through?
D           G              A

D                                     G
The cop smiled and he pulled out his gun.
D                                         G
He said what planet do you think that I'm from?
A                                      D
There was a pause and the moment was tight,
G                                   A
the boy knew he couldn't win this fight.
D                                  G
So he turned and he ran like the wind,
D                                 G
shots fired and the bullets went in.
A                                 D
And he thought as he lay on the ground
G                                       A
I can't believe I'm gonna die in this town.
D                 G          A

D                       G        A
That one day it's gonna be your turn?
Bm                         A           G
This boy was friends with two o' your kids,
A                                    G
How are you gonna tell 'em what you did?
D                     G           A
He was headed to his girlfriends place,
D                                G           A
