Plead the Fifth
Recorded by Cooper Alan
Album: Single (2024)

(Intro.)
I'll (G)plead the fifth of (D)Jack again
When (Em)I go (C)out to-(G)night

(Verse)
They say (G)I was drunk I threw a punch
I (C)caught some big ole bastard dumps
He (G)kicked me out I snuck back inside
And that's (D)how I got these two black eyes
I (D)got lonely called my ex
Thinkin' (C)Ifd come over she said I guess
So I (D)called a lift he picked me up
'Bout (D)halfway there I blew some chunks

(Verse)
He (G)kicked me out on Cherry Street
'Bout (C)that time I saw blue lights blink
Said you (G)can't be here, can't sleep here
So I (D)went to the Quick-Mart bought a beer
 
(G)Went back to where that cop was parked
And I (C)poured that High-Life on his car
And he (G)put me in the back with a dude named Mark
Wound (D)up at the station and here we are
When I (C)see that judge at 8 am
I (D)know my rights and I'll tell him

(Chorus)
I (G)plead the fifth, I (D)did some s**t
When (G)I was drunk last (C)night
I (G)raised some hell, I (D)posted bail
But (Em)I won't (C)testi-(G)fy
It (G)all went south and (D)I ain't proud
But a (G)good time ain't no (C)crime
I'll (G)plead the fifth of (D)Jack again
When (Em)I go (C)out to-(G)night (D) (G)

(Verse)
So I (G)called my brother he got me out
Said (C)sleep it off there on my couch
'Bout (G)4 o'clock it was Happy Hour
And I've (D)always been a sucker for a Whiskey Sour
(G)I thought I'd have just one then
(C)Somehow 2 turned into 10
And I (G)thought oh hell here we go again
And some (D)pretty girl gave me a grin
We (G)stumbled in to some different place
Right (C)fbout that time I saw my face
(G)All the poster up on the wall
Said (D)don't serve this guy alcohol
Then she (C)asked me hey ain't that you
(D)What thhe hell you'd do

(Chorus)
I (G)plead the fifth, I (D)did some s**t
When (G)I was drunk last (C)night
I (G)raised some hell, I (D)posted bail
But (Em)I won't (C)testi-(G)fy
It (G)all went south and (D)I ain't proud
But a (G)good time ain't no (C)crime
I'll (G)plead the fifth of (D)Jack again
When (Em)I go (C)out to-(G)night

(C)That's my story and (G)I'm sticking to it
(C)Don't know what I did, but (D)I didn't do it

(Chorus)
I (G)plead the fifth, I (D)did some s**t
When (G)I was drunk last (C)night
