Shifting Gears Cooder Graw
Shifting Gears
By Cooder Graw
Capo 2
[A]Sheriff drove out to the edge of the county
Kicked a man out and turned around and [D]he
[D]Drove slowly back into [A]town
Just don't [E]hurt nobody, or you'll be going down[A]
[A]Earn respect quick with a gun in your pocket
[A]Everybody shut up and you'd better watch it
[D]If you're out doing things everyone knows ain't [A]right
Find your[E]self in the highway in the middle of the [A]night
Chorus 1:
Find yourself down [F#m]152 [G]East out of[A] town
You can [F#m]scream and [G]no one hears a [A]sound
Yea, and the [Bm]sheriff and his boys know [D]every road out of [E]here
And they'll kick you right [G]out in the [D]middle of shifting [A]gears
Lived in the courthouse, kept an eye on things
Better stay quiet and you'd better not sing
Unless you can keep a tune in your head
Just don't do nothing stupid or you might end up dead
Leather gloves in the back of his pants
Dont backtalk or you're gonna dance
Around an 8-by-12 steel and cement cell
And if you hurt a woman, you'll find yourself in Hell
Chorus 2:
Hell's down 152 East out of town
You can scream and no one hears a sound
Yea, and the sheriff and his boys know every road out of here
And they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears
Yeah they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears
He'll see to it that your trip is short
Mind your manners and you ain't got to worry
It's a well known secret the sheriff runs a tight town
Just don't hurt nobody or you'll be goin' down
Sheriff drove out to the edge of the county
Kicked a man out and he turned around and he
Watched his mirror as he drove into town
Just don't hurt nobody or you'll be goin' down
Chorus 3:
Dinf yourself down 152 East out of town
You can scream and no one hears a sound
Yea, and the sheriff and his boys know every road out of here
And they'll kick you right out in the middle of shifting gears
