POLICEMAN BLUES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

got home from the road
head bout to explode
wired from the load
paid the dues I owed
walked into the house
quiet as a mouse
she left me a note
said I'm gone unquote
don’t wanna be Missus Cop
this madness gotta stop
she took my overcoat
and that was all she wrote

don't gimme no blue news today
no policeman blues
don't gimme no blue news today
don’t want policeman blues
one more kick in the head
I’m tired of seeing red
don't gimme no blue news today
I got policeman blues
I thought that I was tough
but I have had enough
don't gimme no more blues, no way

woke up feeling drowned
to hear the TV sound
looked at the screen and found
they burned down half the town
the Cap called and said “Jerk,
although they gone berserk
this is no time to shirk
you still gotta come to work!”
but how could I refuse?
I put back on my blues
and tied my walking shoes
so don't gimme the bad news

the riot in the street
was feeding on blue meat
and the sound of running feet
us police took the heat
I couldn't use my gun
it wasn't any fun
look out for number one
and when the deed was done
they made us take the blame
but I was not ashamed
I bore up under pain
and walked home in the rain

don't gimme no blue news today
no policeman blues
don't gimme no blue news today
I got policeman blues
one more kick in the head
and I'll go over the edge
don't gimme no blue news today
I got policeman blues
I had enough of sorrow
we'll try again tomorrow
don't gimme no more blues

don't gimme no more bad news for blues today
