Lyrics
REPEAT OFFENDER
Driving to town in my beat up Ford
With my girl up close to me.
Singin? a song with the radio,
She don?t care if I?m off key.
But, when we?re together my driving skills go way down hill.
She tries to kiss me I?m all over the road
I might be drivin?, but I ain?t in control
She puts that old spell on me.
She just keeps happenin? to me. (So)
I?m a repeat offender,
I?ve got no, no defense.
I can?t get over the trouble I brew
When I?m under her influence
But, if drinkin? her love?s a crime then I surrender
And I ain?t ashamed to be
A repeat offender
Driving me crazy with her suntanned face,
And that ?Sure do love ya!? smile
Keepin? me staring in the rearview mirror,
For at least a country mile.
Next thing I know I saw the blue lights flashin? as they flagged me down.
When the cop finally stopped me he was red as a beet.
He hollered boy your headin? South on a Northbound street!
He slapped those handcuffs on me, And he said?
?I hope you like your new jewelry!? (Yes)
(To Chorus)
Well, they hauled me down to the court house,
And I stood before the judge.
He said, ?Boy if you want your freedom,
You?re gonna have to give her up.?
Well, I grinned at him and I said ?Your honor, I just don?t reckon I can do that.?
?Cause, I?m a repeat offender,
I?ve got no defense.
I can?t get over the trouble I brew
When I?m under her influence
But, if drinkin? her love?s a crime then I surrender
I plead guilty, I admit it.
I know I?ll do it again.
I?m addicted, don?t wanna kick it.
I ain?t ashamed that I am
A repeat offender,
A repeat offender,
A repeat offender.
She blew me a kiss as they took me away.
