Bottle Rockets Radar Gun Lyrics

Radar Gun Lyrics

Straight from 12th grade into junior college

Buddy, buddy, buddy I passed my exam

They’re making me a law enforcement person

Got me a gun and a badge, I’m a man



Radar Gun, Radar Gun



43 from where I was sittin’

30 miles an hour is the law of our land

Please produce your license, find your registration

And what is the name of your insurance man?



Radar Gun, Radar Gun

I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my

Radar Gun, Radar Gun

With my brand new Radar Gun



You know our Sheriff William Buckburger

Says our mayor’s got a master plan

A new post gun meets the cost of livin’

And one of them stoplights down on Grand



Radar Gun, Radar Gun

I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my

Radar Gun, Radar Gun

With my brand new Radar Gun



Schedule 19 on a special election

Got our money problems right in hand

Droppin’ them limits like a hot potato

50 down to 30 oh man, oh man



Radar Gun, Radar Gun

I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my

Radar Gun, Radar Gun

With my brand new Radar Gun

Brand new shiny Simmons Radar Gun



Me and my partner go patrol car crusin’ 

on the parking lots at the shopping malls

Scanning those dashes, those mirrors and visors, 

the little detectors that ruin it all

Johnny got one on an ’86 T-bird, 

Pull up slow just as close as I can

Milli-watt seconds on maximum output, 

We’ll dust that puppy with one small blast from my



Radar Gun, Radar Gun

I’m makin’ money and I’m havin’ fun with my

Radar Gun, Radar Gun

With my brand new Radar Gun
