Prolific songwriter, the late Harlan Howard, wrote this and I wanted to point out something that, to me, makes it so special. Harlan leads the listeners down a very predictable typical Country road and suddenly on the very last line of each verse, he throws us into power reverse.

Gordon Lightfoot is another songwriter/poet who does that successfully with his lyrics. Personally, I really enjoy those subtle cranial U-turns in a song.

(A clever sight gag: Did anyone else besides me notice that the officer leaves the Cafe then goes directly oot and tickets Pam's car?).
