Smokey's Got Your Number
Smokey's Pursuit: A Wild Ride Through Thunder Road
Lyrics
He was drivin' like fool when he pulled out from home
Reckless driving as he left home
Doing sixty miles an hour in a twenty-mile zone
Speeding at 60 mph in a 20 mph zone
He was clocking close to eighty by the time he reached the edge of town
Accelerating to nearly 80 mph at the town's edge
But ol' Smokey's got his number and he's just about to shut him down
Smokey, the law enforcement, knows his identity and plans to stop him
They went back up in the mountains and they picked up a load
Transporting moonshine in the mountains
Hauling moonshine whiskey out on Thunder Road
Hauling illegal goods on Thunder Road
He was pedal to the metal when he heard that siren sound
Speeding with the siren warning him
But Smokey's got his number and he's just about to shut him down
Smokey is aware of his actions and intends to apprehend him
He had one hand on the wheel he had love on his mind
Driver distracted by love, not noticing the police cruiser
Didn't see that cruiser sneaking up from behind
Surprised by the approaching police cruiser
Paying way too much attention to that gal he had his arm around
Too focused on his companion, neglecting the surroundings
But ol' Smokey's got his number and he's just about to shut him down
Smokey is aware of his distraction and plans to intervene
Well, she was runnin' late that morning and talking on the phone
A woman running late, multitasking and risking an accident
Combin' her hair, puttin' her makeup on
Getting ready while driving, distracted and inattentive
When was lookin' for her lipstick, she almost run a taxi down
Nearly causing an accident while searching for lipstick
But ol' Smokey's got her number and he's just about to shut her down
Smokey is aware of her actions and intends to stop her
He was sippin' on a latté from his coffee cup
Driver distracted by a latté and attempting to text
He was tryin' to send a text to tie a big deal up
Trying to seal a business deal while driving recklessly
He run up on the sidewalk hit the brakes and started spinnin' around
Losing control, hitting the sidewalk, and spinning around
But Smokey's got his number and he's just about to shut him down
Smokey is aware of his actions and plans to intervene
Yeah, ol' Smokey's got his number and he's just about to shut him down
Reiteration that Smokey is about to apprehend him
Shut him down
Action of shutting down the individual's activities
