Highway Robbery Lyrics

by Tanya Tucker
Intro A
Okay Officer, I admit it, I was speedin'
But before you write me up, let me tell you the reason
I wasn't tryin' to outrun run you
I was chasin' a guy with eyes of blue
Who committed a crime back about a mile or two
I was cruisin' along when he pulled up out of nowhere
He was hotter than the Jag he drove and just one lane over
He aimed those angel eyes at me
And smiled like we were meant to be
Oh he stole my heart, from a movin' car
It was highway robbery,
He grabbed my heart and took off on the run
It was highway robbery,
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done
So hey Officer, how 'bout you understandin'
Won't you turn that blue light on and help me catch that bandit
He's got something that belongs to "T"
I can't let him get away scot-free
Oh its only right, that he's mine tonight
It was highway robbery,
He grabbed my heart and took off on the run
It was highway robbery,
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done
It was highway robbery,
He grabbed my heart and took off on the run
It was highway robbery,
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done
OUT
Hey Officer, let's talk about this now.
By the time you let me go that boy be all the way to Texas
Sure was good lookin'
By the way what color are your eyes.....
