I got a star on my car and one on my chest
A gun on my hip and the right to arrest
I'm the guy who's the boss on this highway

So watch out what you're doin' when you're drivin' my way
If you break the law, you'll hear from me, I know
I'm workin' for the state - I'm the highway patrol


Well, you know you better see me with my door open wide
With my siren screamin' and my flashin' red light

I work all day and I work all night
Just to keep the law and order tryin' to do what's right
If I write you out a ticket, then you better drive slow

I'm just doin' my job - I'm the highway patrol

I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol

My hours are long and my pay is low
But I'll do my best to keep you drivin' slow
I'm just doin' my job - I'm the highway patrol


If you're drivin' too fast like you shouldn't do
You can bet your boots I'm comin' after you

If you wanna race, then get on the racetrack
But if you try to run away, I'm gonna bring you back
I'm here to keep all you speeders drivin' slow

I'm just doin' my job - I'm the highway patrol

I'm the highway patrol, the highway patrol

My hours are long and my pay is low
But I'll do my best to keep you drivin' slow
I'm just doin' my job - I'm the highway patrol


I'm just doin' my job - I'm the highway patrol
