Those Feat’ll Steer Ya Wrong Sometimes lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was staring at myself in the mirrored sunglasses
Set on six foot five of a Texas Ranger
He hollered, "Turn down your radio, son."
I stuttered, "Officer wha-what have I done?"
"You were doing better than a hundred and one
Why ya driving like the devil's on your tail?"

[Verse 2]
I started pleading my case and getting no sympathy
I said, "I'm in the Feat, I'm travelin' from town to town
Don't you know my face?
I'm on the radio most all the time
And I didn't realize I had the hammer down
So please don't you haul me off to jail."

[Pre-Chorus]
"When the Feats are on the box, the speed just slips my mind
I start to sing along, tap my toe, slap the dash in time"
The ranger laughed and said, as he looked me in the eye

[Chorus]
"Son those Feat'll steer ya wrong sometimes"

[Verse 3]
I was on my way to Puerto Rico on a 24-city run
They promised me the world and that's what I got
'Cause Texas is a world all of its own
It takes a lifetime to drive from Eastland to Van Horn
He said, "Didn't you hear my siren whine?
I been chasing you since the Jim Hogg County line."
[Verse 4]
I was thinking real hard about tendrin' my notice
But the bills came in and piled up to my chin
Paul called and said, "We're on our way to Rhome
This tour's gonna save your happy home."

Now we're going to
London, Liverpool, Italy, Paris, Egypt, Dublin, Frisco, Waco
Athens, Gouldbusk, Troy, and Miami
Moody, Beaumont, Edinburgh, Lubbock
Pecos, Deadwood, Fife, Del Rio
Houston, Austin, all around Dallas
Texas is a world all of its own

'N if you let me off this time
From now on I'll keep in mind
That those Feat'll steer you wrong sometimes

[Pre-Chorus]
When the Feat are on the box, the speed just slips my mind
I start to sing along, tap my toe, slap the dash in time
But the ranger said to me, as he handed me the fine

[Chorus]
"Son those Feat done steered ya wrong this time."
Those Feat'll steer ya wrong sometimes
