Bottle Rockets - Radar Gun Lyrics

Straight from 12th grade into junior college
Buddy, buddy, buddy I passed my exam
They’re making me a law enforcement person
Got me a gun and a badge, I’m a man

Radar Gun, Radar Gun

43 from where I was sittin’
30 miles an hour is the law of our land
Please produce your license, find your registration
And what is the name of your insurance man?

Radar Gun, Radar Gun
I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my
Radar Gun, Radar Gun
With my brand new Radar Gun

You know our Sheriff William Buckburger
Says our mayor’s got a master plan
A new post gun meets the cost of livin’
And one of them stoplights down on Grand

Radar Gun, Radar Gun
I’m makin’ 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
50 down to 30 oh man, oh man

Radar Gun, Radar Gun
I’m makin’ 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 crusin’
on the parking lots at the shopping malls
Scanning those dashes, those mirrors and visors,
the little detectors that ruin it all
Johnny got one on an ’86 T-bird,
Pull up slow just as close as I can
Milli-watt seconds on maximum output,
We’ll dust that puppy with one small blast from my

Radar Gun, Radar Gun
I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my
Radar Gun, Radar Gun
With my brand new Radar Gun
