Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ever ride in a cop car at night?
Having a good time till I heard somebody say
"hands behind your back" and I made a stupid face
[Verse 2]
Everything was fine, mindin' my own mind
Think I'm on drugs
And flipped me upside down
I made a face, called you a clown
I'm riding in a cop car tonight
[Chorus]
I'm riding in a cop car tonight
Looking outside as the blinks go by
Wondering how we gonna die
[Verse 3]
"So I'll see you in court", they say
How much money can ya get away?
Oh, I hear he's shameless
I hear he's dangerous
He wouldn't look me in the eyes
[Refrain]
Riding in a cop car tonight
[Verse 4]
Take me on a boat ride, babe
Drop me in the middle of the sea
Make me swim home, tell me I'm wrong
At least I'll be clean for a week
[Chorus]
Riding in a cop car tonight
Lotta time to think what's right
Oh, my wife, another in time
I wonder how she'll stick through the ride?
[Verse 5]
Been in the sun too long
Uh-uh-uh, uh
Didn't know to call it off
Under the light cover of night
Never knew when to run
Whoo-hoo
Whoo-hoo
Takin' my time, makin' it right
[Chorus]
Ridin' in a cop tonight
I'm ridin' in a cop car tonight
Chasin' those blinkin' lights
A Brooks & Dunn song
Just leave me alone
[Outro]
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Takin' my time, making it right
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Takin' my time, making it right
This little light of mine
I'm gonna let it shine
Takin' my time, making it right
