I got a star on my car and one on my chest
A gun on my hip and the right to arrest
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway
So watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way
If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
I'm a-workin' for the state
I'm the highway patrol

Well, you'll know me when you see me, 'cause my door's paintedwhite
My siren a-screamin' and my flashin' red lights
I work all day and I work all night
Just a-keepin' law and order, tryin' to do what's right

If I write you out a ticket, then you'd better drive slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm the highway patrol
I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol
My hours are long, and my pay is low
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm the highway patrol

If your driving to fast, like you shouldn't do
You can bet your boots, I'm coming after you
If you wanna race, then get on-a race track
Cause if you try and run away, I'm gonna bring ya back

I'm here to keepall the speeders driving slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm the highway patrol
I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol
My hours are long, and my pay is low
But I'll do my best to keep you driving slow
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm the highway patrol
I'm just a-doin' my job, I'm the highway patrol
