drive by truckers - used to be a cop lyrics
used to be a cop but i got to be too jumpy
i used to like to party ’til i coughed up half a lung
but sometimes late at night i hear the beat a-b-mping
i reach for my holster and i wake up all alone
i used to have a wife but she told me i was crazy
said she couldn’t stand the way i fidget all the time
sometimes late at night i circle around the house
i look through the windows and i dream that she’s still mine
i got scars on my back from the way my daddy raised me
i used to have a family until i got divorced
i’ve come too far from the things that could save me
i used to be a cop but they kicked me off the force
i used to be a cop ’til they kicked me off the force
used to have a car but the bank came and took it
i’m paying for a house but that b-tch lives in it now
the children that we had who now won’t even look at me
guess there’s nothing left to lose, nothing matters anyhow
got a scar on my arm from that bullet that once grazed me
i keep it in a box to remind me where i’ve been
that thin blue line was the only thing that could save me
i used to have a badge but they made me turn it in
and i used to play football, but i wasn’t big enough for college
but i p-ssed the entrance exam, first try and on my way
the police academy gave me the only thing i was ever good at
but my temper and the shakes, and they took that thing away
used to have a wife but she just couldn’t deal with
the anger and tension that was welling inside me
sometimes late at night i circle ’round the house
i look through the windows and i remember how it used to be
i look through the windows and i remember how it used to be
