Conversation With A Cop

Good morning, I suppose you�re here to issue me a warning
And to ask me what I�m doing out alone
You�re suspicious that I�m not asleep at home
Yeah, I only wish that I could tell you
But I haven�t any reason to be out when every place is dark
I�d only like to flee the light you�re shining in my face
I�ve done no wrong; I�m just looking for some place to walk my dog

Yes, only, do I have to have a license to be lonely?
It�s a warm night and I couldn�t get to sleep
Did you worry that I might disturb the peace?
Yeah, well I�m alone and all to helpless
And I thought I had the right to take a walk at any time I pleased
I never knew the night could turn a whim into a crime
I�ve done no wrong; I�m just looking for some place to walk my dog

And I wonder how it feels to be afraid of everyone you see
I wonder why you keep those nervous fingers on your gun
I�ve done no wrong; I�m just looking for some place to walk my dog
Now don�t get me wrong, I�m just looking for some place to walk my dog
