GOkay officer I admit it I was Cspeedin'
But Gbefore you write me up let me tell you the D7reason
GI wasn't tryin' to outrun run you 
I was Cchasin' a guy with eyes of blue
Who D7committed a crime back about a mile or Gtwo
I was cruisin' along when he pulled up out of Cnowhere
He was Ghotter than the Jag he drove and just one lane D7over
He Gaimed those angel eyes at me
And Csmiled like we were meant to be
D7Oh he stole my heart from a movin' car
It was GhighA#way Grobbery
He Cgrabbed my heart and took off on the D7run

He ought to do time in my D#arms for D7what he's Gdone
So hey officer how 'bout you underCstandin'
Won't you Gturn that blue light on and help me catch that D7bandit
