That rainy night I couldn't see the cops
Who waved to pull me over. Music off,
I thought I heard a shot above the rain.
I stopped. I could've missed that dire warning,
But second shot may not have missed me.
As I backed up to them, they stood around.
The sergeant dropped a hot and empty cartridge,
And bolted in a new. As money changed hands,
I realized my knees were wildly shaking.
A near miss. A pretty close shave,
It lets you know you are still alive.
