lyrics

It took three speeding tickets to slow me down
The officer he caught me on the outskirts of town
Doing twenty over with expired tags
He asked me honey whatcha runnin way from so fast?
Well Mr. officer that’s a great question and I don’t know what to say
I’ve been running now for 23 years and still can’t seem to escape

So write me a citation it’s fine; I ain't got no fear of dying
Till you lock me away with keys I ain't reducing my speed
I’ll see you in the courtroom at nine

It took three bad nights for me to figure out
What it was my mom was talking about
Looking for something that they hadn’t earned
I know what’s right and I know what I deserve
Please sir keep your hands to yourself; we’ve only just met
I've been running now for 23 years ain't no man caught me yet

So write me a citation it’s fine; I aint got no fear of dying
Till you lock me away with keys I ain't reducing my speed
I’ll see you in the courtroom at nine

It took three long years for me to finally grasp
That you were gone and you weren’t coming back.
The symphony of crickets can still be found
On the beach looking out at the sound
Look down from up above and give me your grace
Just give me 23 more and I’ll come and see your face

So write me a citation it’s fine; I ain't got no fear of dying
Till you lock me away with keys I ain't reducing my speed
I’ll see you in the courtroom at nine
