Officer Tabasco

https://suno.com/@thedukeofdance Verse 1 Any time I lit a smoke Or wandered down the lane, She’d show up out of nowhere Like she’d memorized my name. “Hands behind your back,” she’d say, “Boy, you know the drill.” She cuffed me so routinely I could’ve paid her by the bill. Chorus Why you always findin’ me, Why you always showin’ up? Aren’t there bigger problems Or someone really tough? But she’d say, “No, you’re my mission, And I’m seein’ this thing through. You’re a mess, but I’ll fix you — One day I’ll make a man of you.” Verse 2 Park bench, open can — Didn’t matter where I’d been. She’d appear like a magician, Catchin’ me again and again. I’d roll my eyes, she’d roll her cuffs, Our strange familiar dance. And even when I hid away, She’d find me by pure chance. Chorus (repeat) Bridge Then one day I stayed inside Didn’t give her any bait Cleaned up, sobered up Got a job and got it straight Months went by without her Thought she’d finally let me be Till I saw her out of uniform And she smiled right at me Outro Now we laugh about the old days All the trouble I got in Officer Tabasco Turned from warden to my friend Funny how life twists around When you least expect it to Turns out all her naggin’ Made a better man of me too.
