The Garden – Have A Good Day Sir lyrics

Known to be sketchy in my recent past
Foot on the pedal
Red lights flash
Been caught by the black & white 7 times
I keep it quiet, keep it polite
Not havin' luck with the DMV though
Never showed up to check the dealio
Almost been jailed a number of times
But I got away / payed those fines
(But I got away, paid the fines 4x)

Failed to appear in court
I changed that to my middle name
Always gettin' notes in the mail (Fuck)
Forget about em or throw em away
Not a good habit, I don't recommend it
I got fucked over, license suspended
Payed those fines and now I'm broke
I think I learned my lesson but you never know
(I think I learned my lesson but you never know x4)

I was movin' down south on the Interstate 10
Sun was goin' down and I was speedin' again
Happy-go-lucky soon turns to dust-
As the red lights flash to make the bust
Big boots closing in real fast
Here comes the question; gonna be a blast
'How fast do you really think you were going?'
Yellow slip's mind and I keep on drivin'


[Hook] (x2)
Keep that shit from 9-5
Wheels goin' fast as I go by
Makin' wrong turns, just slitherin' by
Keep that shit from 9-5

I used to be good with cops
Convincing smile and relatable talk
I kinda know how it works
You get pulled to the side and you work some magic
You can't always get away free though
Sometimes you just get the shortest stick
So many traits that I can't pick
Man this guys skull is thick
(Gotta thick skull! Gotta thick skull gotta thick skull!)

Sorry about my speed back there
Its new car and I'm getting used to its pedal
Headed to a show a state away
I hope Im on time I'm sorry to say

'What kinda music do ya play son?'
I play country sir and I'm proud to say
It's the only kinda tune I listen to
I listen to Buck Owens every day


'Well now you've admitted your wrongs
I think I'll let you pass
You seem like a great kid
Polite smile and a great ass'

'Have a good day son'
Have a good day sir (x5)

[Hook] (x2)
Keep that shit from 9-5
Wheels goin' fast as I go by
Makin' wrong turns, just slitherin' by
Keep that shit from 9-5
