Officer I Swear She's 19

(albüm: Insider - 1998)

Just another night, another bar, another town
I was talking to myself though the guys were all around
Then she walked up started dancing on the bar
I showed her to my car
All her high school friends started coming to our shows
I admit they caught my eye and my wallet and my nose
But no one comes close to the teen that I loved first
Maybe I'm just cursed

Officer I swear she said she's 19
Didn't check her ID
You know that you would do the same
Finally a girl who looks up to me
She can't see through me
She can't see anything I don't want her to see
We always manage to agree

Finally I saw the light we didn't have to wait
Come on darling pack your bags we'll move to another state
New Mexico says you can marry at 13
Now I got my mini-queen

Officer I swear she said she's 19
Didn't check her ID
You know that you would do the same
Finally a girl who looks up to me
She can't see through me
She can't see anything I don't want her to see
We always manage to agree

In New Mexico life is dry there's not much grass
And my little darling earns our rent she's pumping gas
This morning she met the cutest girl at a bar
Guess we have to move to Utah

Officer I swear she said she's 19
Didn't check her ID
You know that you would do the same
Finally a girl who looks up to me
She can't see through me
She can't see anything I don't want her to see
We always manage to agree
