Sheriff Owes Me Money

Verse 1

Acoustic guitar and voice, half-rapped

Friday night out in Miller's barnFolding table and a single bulbPreacher, mechanic, and the mayorAnd the sheriff in his off-duty hatLosing like he means it, every hand

Pre-Chorus

He slid me an IOU last weekSigned it with his badge number too

Chorus

The sheriff owes me moneySo I'm sleeping just fine tonightDriving ninety with a smileThe sheriff owes me money

Verse 2

Taillight's out, and so's my tagHe waves me on like an old friendSays, boy, deal me in on FridaySays I'm feeling lucky this time

Pre-Chorus

He slid me an IOU last weekSigned it with his badge number too

Chorus

Banjo hook, claps and stomp kick

The sheriff owes me moneySo I'm sleeping just fine tonightDriving ninety with a smileThe sheriff owes me money

Bridge

Everything drops to banjo and voice

Lord, please don't let that man winNot even one hand

Final Chorus

Full band, 808 and big singalong

The sheriff owes me moneySo I'm sleeping just fine tonightDriving ninety with a smileThe sheriff owes me moneyThe sheriff owes me moneySo I'm sleeping just fine tonightDriving ninety with a smileThe sheriff owes me plenty
