Joey Gaskin - Checkpoint lyrics

rate me

Red lights won't stop this tonight

You're speeding into traffic

Check your hazard lights

Babe, look over your shoulder

I am pulling you over

I'm checking for ID

License and registration please

I'm checking over your taillights

What’s that, in your backseat?

I'mma need you to pop your trunk

I think you're smuggling

You might just get a ticket

If you get disorderly

Or maybe I might just write you a warning

You didn’t see me coming

Nor the roadblock

You know just what I'm wanting

And now you've gotta to stop

It’s too late to turn around

To take another way home

You’re still in my jurisdiction

And babe now you're in my zone

Tell me where you’re headed

What if I said forget it?

You can’t come through my checkpoint

Without knowing where you're going

I'm not gonna let you go

I don't wanna let you go

I need you to take a ride back with me

From the checkpoint

Baby, you're under my surveillance

Your tags are expired

Do you know their outdated?

If I choose to let you slide

Next time, I'll write you a fine

Why am I going easy on you?

I'm not that type

I'll give you a break

Don’t think this ends my investigation

Cause I show you have a history

Of parking violations

So move along, don't sit still

Why are you hesitating?

Hey lady, cross the line

Don't keep me waiting

You didn’t see me coming

Nor the roadblock

You know just what I'm wanting

And now you've gotta to stop

It’s too late to turn around

To take another way home

You’re still in my jurisdiction

And babe now you're in my zone

Tell me where you’re headed

What if I said forget it?

You can’t come through my checkpoint

Without knowing where you're going

I'm not gonna let you go

I don't wanna let you go

I need you to take a ride back with me

From the checkpoint

Mam,

Please step out the car

You are

Guilty as charged

I was gonna let you go

You’re not gonna let me go

I was gonna let you go

You’re not gonna let me go

I didn’t see this coming

Nor the roadblock

You knew that you were wanted

That's why you never stopped

So what made you turn around

To take another way home?

I think you knew my jurisdiction

Cause now you're in my zone

Tell me where you’re headed

What if I said forget it?

You can’t come through my checkpoint

Without knowing where you're going

I'm not gonna let you go

I don't wanna let you go

I need you to take a ride back with me

From the checkpoint
