Two night stand in Tulsa

Pullin' out and headed west

Brett he grabbed the Gideon's
E MajorE
From the hotel in the desk
      A7A7
And we said what's the matter brother
    A7A7
Are you worried about your soul
    E MajorE
He said better safe than sorry boys

And said what would Jesus do

That old bible on the dash

Verse:

Around these parts a hair alone

Will make probable cause

If you're moving through my county

You'll obey my earthly laws

Yes we did our best to quote
A7A7
Some holy writ chapter and verse
      E MajorE
What kinda music you boys making
    E MajorE
We said Christian music sir

B7B7
Contemplated
B7B7
Twirled his cop mustache
N/C
Alright you boys be careful now
N/C
Just don't drive quite so fast

   A7A7
It's better than insurance
