Highway Robbery
Tanya Tucker

Intro: A

A                                D
Okay Officer, I admit it, I was speedin'
     A                                           E
But before you write me up, let me tell you the reason
A
I wasn't tryin' to outrun run you
       D
I was chasin' a guy with eyes of blue
      E                                    A
Who committed a crime back about a mile or two

A                                              D
I was cruisin' along when he pulled up out of nowhere
        A                                              E
He was hotter than the Jag he drove and just one lane over
    A
He aimed those angel eyes at me
     D
And smiled like we were meant to be
        E
Oh he stole my heart, from a movin' car

Chorus
       A     C   A
It was high-way robbery,
    D                                   E
He grabbed my heart and took off on the run
       F    C    D
It was high-way robbery,
                           F        G         A
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done

A                                   D
So hey Officer, how 'bout you understandin'
           A                                              E
Won't you turn that blue light on and help me catch that bandit
A
He's got something that belongs to T
D
I can't let him get away scot-free
         E     
Oh its only right, that he's mine tonight


Repeat Chorus 2X
 
    D                     F        G         A
He ought to do time in my arms for what he's done

Outro: (Stays in “A”)

A
Hey Officer, let's talk about this now.
By the time you let me go that boy be all the way to Texas
Sure was good lookin'
By the way what color are your eyes
