lyrics

Some white folks from Alabama on the Amtrak

It’s our 40th

we’re taking trains all over for three weeks

Our son, decided

he wanted to be a police officer

He said

Daddy, I want a badge, a gun and a car

In actual fact

they said

he said

I want a gun, a car and a badge

in that order

They said

We said

Honey —

You make sure you protect yourself first

we’ll take care of anything we need to after
