Highway Robbery
     by Tanya Tucker

Intro   A

Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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                   F E
Oh he stole my heart, from a movin' car

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

Verse 3
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                F E
Oh its only right, that he's mine tonight




CHORUS
       A   C   A
It was highway robbery,

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

OUT

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