The Field Sobriety Test

I was comin? home late after a party one night
When I was suddenly blinded in a blaze of light
There were flashes of white of red and blue
I pulled to the side I knew what I?d have to do
I?d have to pass a field sobriety test a field sobriety test

I fot outta the car and I stumbled about
When I dropped my license I could see the cops doubt
He told me to walk a straight line and then
When I circled around he said my friend
You fail your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

I said Oh Please have mercy on me
I haven?t been drinkin? it?s the lights you see
They flash in my eyes and swirl around
So I?m gonna be dizzy if I can?t look down
While takin? your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

Then he said to me kinda on the sly
If you know your letters you might just get by
So say ?em right and say ?em slow
Cause if I don?t hear each one then I will know
You fail the field sobriety test the field sobriety test

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Then he looked at me with a shit eatin? grin
And said OK now say ?em again
And this time here is what I want
You say ?em again only back to front
Or fail the field sobriety test the field sobriety test

Well he looked at me with some disgrace
And a quizzical look upon his face
But your not done yet my alphabetical friend
This time you say ?em from both ends in
To pass your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

This time his look held consternation
And I swore he would drag my ass to the station
But he smiled and said to end all doubt
This time you say ?em from the middle out
Or fail your field sobriety test your field sobriety test

Well he smiled and shook my hand sure enough
And said OK that wasn?t no bluff
But If I see you again before the sun hits the trees
It?ll take more than knowin? your ABC?s
To pass my field sobriety test my field sobriety test
