SPEEDIN'
adapted from the original by Greg Brown
It's a nice little town / It's a sweet little town
It's a nice little, sweet little happenin' town
Nicest town for miles around / but you were speedin' (speedin'!)
Roll on over, roll on over, lay your money down
We got a new bowling alley / And a new swimming pool
We got a new Wal-Mart and a new strip mall
But you didn't see none of that at all / 'cuz you were speedin' (speedin'!)
Roll on over, roll on over, lay your money down
I know it's 3 o'clock in the mornin'
You've been drivin' through corn and corn and corn
It's getting late, your eyes are tired and red
Roll on over, and find a motel bed."
Left tail-light's out / I'm gonna let that pass
License expired last Tuesday / And you're runnin' of gas.
But you were speedin' (speedin'!)
Roll on over, roll on over, lay your money down
