Every State Line Lyrics

Ani Difranco

I got pulled over in west Texas So they could look inside my car He said, "Are you an American citizen?" I said, "Yes sir, so far"
They made sure I wasn't smuggling Someone in from Mexico Someone willing to settle for America 'Cause there's nowhere else to go
I broke down in Louisiana And I had to thumb a ride Got in the first car that pulled over You can't be picky in the middle of the night
He said, "Baby, do you like to fool around?" He said, "Baby, do you like to be touched?" I said, "Maybe some other time Fuck you very much"
I'm in the middle of Alabama They stare at me where ever I go I don't think they like my haircut I don't think they like my clothes
I can't wait to get back to New York city Where at least when I walk down the street No one ever hesitates To tell me exactly what they think of me
A little town in Pennsylvania There was snow on the ground A parked in an empty lot Where there was no one else around
But I guess I was taking up too much space As I was trying to get some sleep 'Cause an officer came by anyway And told me I had to leave
And every state line There's a new set of laws And every police man Comes equipped with extended claws
There's a thousand shades of white And a thousand shades of black But the same rule always applies Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back Smile pretty, and watch your back Smile pretty, and watch your back Smile pretty, and watch your back
Smile pretty, and watch your back Smile pretty, and watch your back Smile pretty, and watch your back Smile pretty, smile pretty
