Side Of The Road by Greg Holden

He's got a flat wheel at the side of the road
The rains coming down and it's getting cold
A cop pulls over on the interstate
Says wait right there I gotta check your plates

He comes back to sound the alarm
Makes it clear to the boy that he's armed
Says I don’t know if I’ve seen you around
We don’t get your type in our town

Officer, I grew up in this town
Surely you must’ve seen me around
I go to school with a two of your sons
Maybe you saw me at game that we won

(Riff)

He said, boy, step out of the car
I don’t want you going too far
Where is it you said you were from again
Cos I don't think I was listening

I don’t remember telling you you could speak
Show some respect to members of the police
Do you know what I could do to you?
Do you know what I could put you through?

Officer, I grew up in this town
Surely you must’ve seen me around
I go to school with two of your sons
Maybe you saw me at game we won

I am headed to my girlfriends place and yea
It’s been a while since I checked my plates
But I assure you when tomorrow comes
I’ll get em fixed and no harm will be done

The cop smiled and he pulled out his gun
He said what planet do you think I'm from?
There was a pause and the moment was tight
But the boy knew he couldn't win this fight

So he turned and he ran like the wind
Shots fired and the bullets went it
He thought as he lay on the ground
I can't believe I'm gonna die in this town

Officer when are you gonna learn
That one day it's gonna be your turn
This boy was friends with two of your kids
How are you gonna tell them what you did

He was headed to his girlfriends place
And yes, it wasn't right he hadn't checked his plates but
He assured you when tomorrow came
He was gonna make it right again
