Those Feat’ll Steer Ya Wrong Sometimes Little Feat

[Verse 1]
I was staring at myself in the mirrored sunglasses
Set on six foot five of a Texas Ranger
He hollered, "Turn down your radio, son."
I stuttered, "Officer wha-what have I done?"
"You were doing better than a hundred and one
Why ya driving like the devil's on your tail?"

[Verse 2]
I started pleading my case and getting no sympathy
I said, "I'm in the Feat, I'm travelin' from town to town
Don't you know my face?
I'm on the radio most all the time
And I didn't realize I had the hammer down
So please don't you haul me off to jail."

[Pre-Chorus]
"When the Feats are on the box, the speed just slips my mind
I start to sing along, tap my toe, slap the dash in time"
The ranger laughed and said, as he looked me in the eye

[Chorus]
"Son those Feat'll steer ya wrong sometimes"

[Verse 3]
I was on my way to Puerto Rico on a 24-city run
They promised me the world and that's what I got
'Cause Texas is a world all of its own
It takes a lifetime to drive from Eastland to Van Horn
He said, "Didn't you hear my siren whine?
I been chasing you since the Jim Hogg County line."
