Lyrics

[Intro] So, one, one more I'll play that uh, another artist, um It's, uh, been around for a while, recorded This is a song I wrote about an experience I had down in Alabama There was a, uh, there was an airport there And we used to go sneak in on the back side of this airport And, um, park behind the runway and turn our headlights off And these big 737 planes would come flyin' up, right over the top of us And there wasn't much to do down in this part of Alabama So this was, provided us three or four seconds of entertainment about every thirty minutes But, uh, it was something fun to do on the weekends We really only got away with it three or four times before we got into a little bit of trouble, uh, one night Wound up in a little bit of trouble with the police And it was, uh, unfortunate but, uh After moving to Nashville and runnin' out of other ideas to write about, uh I decided to write about this, uh, experience And, uh, Keith Urban ended up recording it so, uh This song's called "Cop Car" [Verse 1] We drove right past that no trespassing sign We sat on the tailgate and watched the planes take off We thought we had all night, there was no need to rush That's when those cops came pullin' up And I thought Man, ain't this some sh— [Pre-Chorus] Your daddy's gonna kill me But if I survive tonight I wouldn't change one thing Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy [Chorus] But there was somethin' 'bout the way the blue lights were shinin' Bringin' out the freedom in your eyes And I was too busy watchin' you goin' wild child To be worried about goin' to jail You were thinkin' that runnin' for it would make a good story I was thinkin' you were crazy as hell But you were so innocent, but you were stealin' my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car [Verse 2] Man, they weren't playin', they sure threw those cuffs on quick You tried to sweet talk them, they didn't fall for it, but I did You were on the left, I was on the right I knew you didn't smoke when you asked him for a light And I laughed He got mad and slammed the door [Pre-Chorus] I swear your daddy's gonna kill me But if I survive tonight I wouldn't change one thing Baby, yeah, I know it sounds crazy [Chorus] But there was somethin' 'bout the way the blue lights were shinin' Bringin' out the freedom in your eyes And I was too busy watching you goin' wild child To be worried about goin' to jail You were thinkin' that runnin' for it would make a good story I was thinkin' you were crazy as hell But you were so innocent, but you were stealin' my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car [Post-Chorus] (Oh-woah-oh) [Bridge] And side by side and locked in tight They were takin' their time, but we didn't mind We talked and we laughed, we sat real close By the time they let us go I was already gone I was already gone, babe [Chorus] 'Cause there was somethin' 'bout the way the blue lights were shinin' Bringin' out the freedom in your eyes And I was too busy watchin' you going wild child To be worried about goin' to jail You were thinkin' that runnin' for it would make a good story And I was thinkin' you were crazy as hell But you were so innocent, you were stealin' my heart I fell in love in the back of a cop car [Outro] I fell in love in the back of a cop car I fell in love in the back of a cop car
