Sign says go but not too fast I put the pedal to the metal and I blow right past all the people drivin’ slowly in the right-hand lane ‘cuz unlike the other people I have something to gain there’s a lot of other things I want to do in my time such as seeing the world and making you mine (Chorus) Hey mister sheriff you can’t catch me not when I’m drivin’ in my viper at 180 But you can keep coming and I’ll play your game but don’t be too surprised when you’re put to shame I just passed the speed trap the race is on as memories of family and times foregone they flash before my eyes beggin’ me to stop but I blink them away and focus on the cop he’s closin’ in fast but I doubt he’ll win ‘cus when it comes to racing I’ve got him pinned (Chorus) Hey mister sheriff you can’t catch me not when I’m drivin’ in my viper at 180 But you can keep coming and I’ll play your game but don’t be too surprised when you’re put to shame Speeding down the highway and then I see a little brown-haired boy run in front of me I swerve just in time and I miss the child but then when I look back I see him smile he looks straight at me and gently nods his head I knew what must be done though no words were said Time to end all the madness and stop the chase so I let up off the pedal for a slower pace now I see the lights flashing behind my car hear the screamin’ sirens they’re not too far I think of all the bad things that I have done but when I think its over it has just begun ‘cuz now I go to prison for the cops have won (Chorus) Hey mister sheriff you might catch me because I’m slowin’ down my viper as you can see ‘cus like I said before I’ve got a lot to gain and if I mess up now then I’ve lived in vain |
