The Bottle Rockets - Radar Gun Lyrics

Straight from twelfth grade into junior college
Buddy buddy buddy I passed my exam
Makin' me a law enforcement person
Got me a gun and a badge, I'm a man

Radar gun
Radar gun

Forty three from where I was sitting
Thirty miles an hour is the law of our land
Please remove your license, find your registration
And what is the name of your insurance plan?

Radar gun
Radar gun
I'm making money and I'm havin' fun
With my radar gun
Radar gun
With my brand new radar gun

You know our sheriff, William Buchberger
Says our mayor's got a master plan
A new pulse gun means a cost o' livin'
And one of them stop lights down on grand

Radar gun
Radar gun
I'm making money and I'm havin' fun
With my radar gun
Radar gun
With my brand new radar gun

Schedule 19 on a special election
Got our money problems right in hand
Droppin' them limits like a hot potato
Fifty down to thirty oh, man, oh, man!

Radar gun
Radar gun
I'm making money and I'm havin' fun
With my radar gun
Radar gun
With my brand new radar gun
Brand new shiny Simmons radar gun

Me and my partner go patrol car cruisin'
On the parking lots at the shopping malls
Scanning those dashes, those mirrors and visors
The little detectors that ruin it all

Johnny caught one on an '86 t-bird
Pull up slow just as close as I can
Milliwatt-seconds on maximum output
We'll dust that puppy with one small blast of my

Radar gun
Radar gun
I'm making money and I'm havin' fun
With my radar gun
Radar gun
With my brand new radar gun
