Used To Be A Cop - Drive-By Truckers
Used to be a cop but I got to be too jumpy
I used to like to party 'til I coughed up half a lung
But sometimes late at night
I hear the beat a-bumping
I reach for my holster and
I wake up all alone
I used to have a wife but she told me I was crazy
Said she couldn't stand the way
I fidget all the time
Sometimes late at night I circle around the house
I look through the windows and
I dream that she's still mine
I got scars on my back from
The way my Daddy raised me
I used to have a family until I got divorced
I've come too far from the things that could save me
I used to be a cop but they kicked me off the force
I used to be a cop 'til they kicked me off the force
Used to have a car but the bank came and took it
I'm paying for a house but
That bitch lives in it now
The children that we had
Who now won't even look at me
Guess there's nothing left to lose
Nothing matters anyhow
Got a scar on my arm from
That bullet that once grazed me
I keep it in a box to remind me where I've been
That thin blue line was the only thing
That could save me
I used to have a badge but
They made me turn it in
And I used to play football
But I wasn't big enough for college
But I passed the entrance exam
First try and on my way
The Police Academy gave me
The only thing I was ever good at
But my temper and the shakes
And they took that thing away
Used to have a wife but she just couldn't deal with
The anger and tension that was welling inside me
Sometimes late at night I circle 'round the house
I look through the windows and
I remember how it used to be
I look through the windows and
I remember how it used to be
