  			Intro:   A 

A 
Well I was cruisin' Texarkana,  in my Cadillac 

We were giggin' Louisiana, and a comin' back 

It was starting to get light, and I was really gone 

I saw a flashin' in my mirror, he was movin' on 


        D 
        Hey Johnny Law, why you pickin' on me 
                   A 
        Hey Johnny Law, drivin' off my misery 
                                            E 
        You got the biggest attitude I ever saw 
                                                   A 
        I bet you was wishin' I was guilty, Johnny Law 

A 
Standin' by my cruiser, waitin' for your friends 

Or you can sidle by later, maybe haul me in 

Your pushin' me around, hopin' that I'll choke 

And if you get your way, I'll be locked up and broke 

            D 
        Hey Johnny Law, why you pickin' on me 
                   A 
        Hey Johnny Law, drivin' off my misery 
                                            E 
        You got the biggest attitude I ever saw 
                                                   A 
        I bet you was wishin' I was guilty, Johnny Law 

A 
You got everything lit up, for all the world to see 

But you ain't found nothin' , so your settin' me free 

Your makin' money,  puttin' fear in those oppressed 

You ain't nothin' but a bully, with a star on your chest 

            D 
        Hey Johnny Law, why you pickin' on me 
                   A 
        Hey Johnny Law, drivin' off my misery 
                                            E 
        You got the biggest attitude I ever saw 
                                                   A 
        I bet you was wishin' I was guilty, Johnny Law
