G C D7
Well I woke up this morning about a quarter past four grabbed my cap and my bag and slipped out
the door
G C D7
And hooked up my tractor to the u-haul hitch and went and picked up Vince and we headed out to
peep the sitch'
G C D7
Figured we’d try to get into some smallies in the clearwater
D7
Prayin' there wasn’t nothing to get snagged up on
(Lick 2)
G C D7
So we were cruising somewhere near Livingston Had some herb in my bowl and lit it again
G C D7
I was jabbered at the jaw and crimson in the eye and on the way to dale hollow
D7
I was floatin' like a butterfly then I got stung by a bee
(Lick 3)
G C D7
Had to squeeze the mustard uncle Vinnie said wow then I saw the lights flash and my heart sank
down
G C D7
then a man rolled up with a real nice lean and I rolled down the window and he smelled my weed
D7
he said I’m officer Looper the Tennessee State Trooper
G C D7
and I’ll take your license and your registration and your grass
D7
I guess it was only a matter of time
(Lick 3)
G C D7
He said where you headin', I said to catch some bass He said step on out under my magnifying
glass,
G C D7
he made me watch his fingers and touch my nose then he made me count to thirty but then he let
me go
G C D7
made my day I reckon it was a little catch and release
(Lick 4)
G C D7
So that there’s my story and I want you to know, if your goina go fishing better taker slow,
G C D7
better look both ways, and keeper in line, let this be a lesson to you and your partners in
crime
D7
Always watch your 6 & 9, don’t roll through the stop sign, you don’t always need to make the
verses rhyme
D7
Don’t be mixin liquor with your wine, if you feel so inclined to keep me in mind
And by the way, only break one law..... at a time
(Lick 5)

Well I woke up this mornin' bout' a quarter past four
I grabbed a cap and bag and slipped out the door
Hooked up my tracker, to the U-haul hitch
I went and picked up Vince and we headed out to peep the sitch
Figured we'd try to get into some smallies in the clear water
Prayin' there wasn't nothin' to get snagged up on
So we're cruising somewhere near Livingston
I had some herb in my bowl and I lit it again
I was jabbered at the jaw and crimson in the eye
On the way to Dale Hollow I was floating like a butterfly
(then I got stung by a bee)
I had to squeeze the mustard, uncle Vinnie said "wow"
Then I saw the lights flash and my heart sank down
And a man strolled up, with a real nice lean
And I rolled down my window and he smelled my weed
He said "I'm officer Looper the Tennessee state trooper
And I'll take your license and your registration and your grass"
I guess it was only a matter of time
He said, "Where you headin'?", I said to catch some bass
He said, "Step on out under my magnifying glass"
He made me watch his fingers and touch my nose
Then he made me count to 30 but then he let me go
Made my day. I reckon it was a little catch and release
So that there's my story and I want you to know
If you're gonna go fishing ya better take it slow
Better look both ways and keep'er in line
Let this be a lesson to you and your partners in crime
Always watch your six and nine, Don't roll through the stop signs
You don't always need to make the verses rhyme
Don't be mixing liquor with your wine
If you feel so inclined, keep me in mind
And by the way, only break one law at a time
