Blaze Foley cover

lyrics

Officer Manley is that really your name?
Why do all you policemen look just the same
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet that your feet are just as flat as the floor

Well you read us our rights
But you read em too fast
Officer Manley won’t you please kiss my ass
Officer Manley
Officer Manley
Get down on your knees

Well ease it on back, ease it on back we shouldn’t have tried
Came down to Austin, Texas we was so fried
And the police’ll get you if you look strange at night
If you got some kind of khakis and a polo you’re alright

But we only had blue jeans our eyes were red
Said they knew we were awful all the good folks were in bed
But what do they know?
What do they know?
They don’t know everything

No sheets on the bed
Just a blanket of blue
If i was your mama I’d run out on you
Did you learn it in Iraq or Afghanistan
Or did you learn it in college like the young police do

You learned how to use handcuffs
And time your own breaks
Free cups of coffee and free coffee cakes
From middle aged women thats already married
Middle aged women thats already married

Officer Manley is that really your name?
Why do all you policemen look just the same
With your big heavy pistols and your bullets galore
I bet that your feet are just as flat as the floor
