    Story Behind the Song
    Anyone who's been followed and/or stopped by the police can relate to this tune. I wrote this after such an experience. I first thought of the title. The lyrics came fairly easy except for the pay off in the
    last verse. I knew what I wanted to happen but need to say it in just the right way.

    Lyrics
    Cop Cars

    Hiding under bridges and around the bend
    Under overpasses, and just about then
    They come out of nowhere then suddenly appear
    That familiar silhouette in your rear view mirror

    Here comes one now everybody be good
    All tap your breaks, good citizens we should
    If they roll up beside you don't ever look their way
    Try to act natural in your own sweet way

    Cop Cars
    With their lights a brightly blazing
    Cop Cars
    I can hear their sirens wailing, oh no
    I wonder what their saying on their radio

    Sir Officer was I over the limit
    Licence and registration please
    Over my shoulder, flash light across my dash
    Is there anything illegal she'll see

    My name Indie speedway in and out of traffic
    Just another jack ass on the run
    A good chase these days is better than a picnic
    Never a cop around but this time I'm busted

    Cop Cars
    With their lights a brightly blazing
    Cop Cars
    I can hear their sirens wailing oh no
    I wonder what their saying on that radio

    Mean while back in the squad car
    Her strobes light the colors of my mind
    When I asked her to show to her Scotland yard
    We laid down the law her little pink citation

    Cop Cars
    With their lights a brightly blazing
    Cop Cars
    I can hear their sirens wailing oh no
    I wonder what their saying on that radio
