    Story Behind the Song
    I was hanging with some fellow songwriter friends and I demonstrated the fact that I could say the alphabet in several different directions. One guy said "Man that's should be a song" so I wrote this.

    Lyrics
    The Field Sobriety Test

    I was comin’ home late after a party one night
    When I was suddenly blinded in a blaze of light
    There were flashes of white of red and blue
    I pulled to the side I knew what I’d have to do
    I’d have to pass a field sobriety test a field sobriety test

    I fot outta the car and I stumbled about
    When I dropped my license I could see the cops doubt
    He told me to walk a straight line and then
    When I circled around he said my friend
    You fail your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

    I said Oh Please have mercy on me
    I haven’t been drinkin’ it’s the lights you see
    They flash in my eyes and swirl around
    So I’m gonna be dizzy if I can’t look down
    While takin’ your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

    Then he said to me kinda on the sly
    If you know your letters you might just get by
    So say ‘em right and say ‘em slow
    Cause if I don’t hear each one then I will know
    You fail the field sobriety test the field sobriety test

    ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

    Then he looked at me with a shit eatin’ grin
    And said OK now say ‘em again
    And this time here is what I want
    You say ‘em again only back to front
    Or fail the field sobriety test the field sobriety test

    ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA

    Well he looked at me with some disgrace
    And a quizzical look upon his face
    But your not done yet my alphabetical friend
    This time you say ‘em from both ends in
    To pass your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

    AZBYCXDWEVFUGTHSIRJQKPLOMN

    This time his look held consternation
    And I swore he would drag my ass to the station
    But he smiled and said to end all doubt
    This time you say ‘em from the middle out
    Or fail your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

    MNLOKPJQIRHSGTFUEVDWCXBYAZ

    Well he smiled and shook my hand sure enough
    And said OK that wasn’t no bluff
    But If I see you again before the sun hits the trees
    It’ll take more than knowin’ your ABC’s
    To pass my field sobriety test my field sobriety test
