Brian Burns - The Car Was Upside Down When I Got Here
Officer good evenin', allow me to explain, the spectacle you see beside this road.
Well it's been a long, hard day,
and I have been the victim of circumstances beyond my control.
Let me just assure you that I'm not a drinkin' man.
I work hard to uphold the law.
And those people in that other car, 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 somethin' all down my shirt,
well it might have been tequila, I don't know.
I just stepped into the woods for a midnight prayer,
I don't know what went down while I was not here.
That stop sign was on the hood when I bought the car,
and the car was upside down when I got here.
Officer my reputation speaks for itself,
well I'm as innocent and gentle as a child.
That fist fight with my mama, that was three months ago,
I can't believe that's still on my file.
Now a conscientious peace keeper such as yourself,
must surely recognize an honest guy.
And since most of my money goes to charitable causes,
I can't afford a DWI.
Yea the car was upside down when I got here.
I left it right side up some time ago.
Some kids drove by and poured somethin' all down my shirt,
well it might have been tequila, I don't know.
I stepped into the woods for a midnight prayer,
yea I don't know what went down while I was not here.
That stop sign was on the hood when I bought the car,
and the car was upside down when I got here.
No sir, I don't remember exactly how I broke my ribs,
but the car was upside down when I got here.
