I Was on My Way to
Phoenix
(To the Tune of "By the Time I Get to Phoenix.")
I was on my way to Phoenix and got busted
'Cause I left my papers on the dresser drawer
I wore brown makeup for the costume party
And I looked just like a real matador
My GPS read zero at the stop sign
But the cop said that he saw me roll right through
I really wasn't driving while Hispanic
Like so many do
You'd think my southern accent would convince him
That I was really from the USA
But there wasn't any way that I could prove it
Forgettin's such an easy thing you know
When will they let me go?
It's up to Sheriff Joe...
