My Daddy's the Sheriff

Riley Lincoln

West Palm Beach, Fla

October 2010

I knew she was young

  I met her at the county fair

She was carrying a little teddy bear

Spent the night under the stars

  Dreaming and thinking we were on Mars

Then out of the night

  Came a great fright

She said ""My Daddy's the sheriff

  Please don't run

I want to have some more fun"

Oh no.  What have I done?

  Except have a lot of fun?

I said "I don't know

  About any more fun"

She said "Yes I know

  My daddy's got a big gun"

What time did your daddy

  Expect you home?"

She said "nine o'clock"

  I let out a moan

I asked "AM or PM?"

  She smiled, looked at me and said

"PM...and that means in bed"

I said "What day?"

  She looked up and said "Yesterday"

I thought maybe I better run

  The sheriff has lots of guns

But it was so much fun

 

She looked at me and said

  "I won't tell"

I thought to myself "Oh, well"

I was never one

  To let death get in way of fun

I said "Let's do it one more time"

  She said "Fine, baby, fine"
