about

Slide blues guitar adds a back road feel to this song about getting out of speeding tickets. Named for the Flusher Dog... Sexy organ solo and a few sound effects add to the feel.

lyrics

I like to drive fast, I love to push this car of mine.
But blue and red lights shining in my mirror just ruin my good time.
I gotta find a flusher, a beamer or a Benz
Who will play my game of chance and blame I know we’ll be fast friends.
Gotta find me a flusher, any make will do
But it’s a trick to make them want to play the game along with you.

Chorus:
Gonna find me a bird dog, to speed right in front of me.
To flush out all the radar and take the heat off of me.

I know it when I see it, a sporty foreign car.
They paid a fortune for it to travel like a star.
They don’t wanna mingle with all of us “have nots”.
They wanna be in charge, lead the way, they wanna call the shots.
But their egos are so fragile, they can hardly take a joke
I’ve found they’ll speed ahead of me with one strategic poke.

Chorus:
Gonna find me a bird dog, to speed right in front of me.
To flush out all the radar and take the heat off of me. (spoken: you hear that? Bobby's bringing the heat!"

Organ Solo

Bridge:
That’s me in your mirror, I’m suddenly your biggest fan
I’ll follow from a distance a little closer than you can stand.
And when you get fed up and push your pedal to the floor,
I’ll give you space but follow so the speeding ticket’s yours. (Siren)

Guitar Solo:

I might get sentimental, I might just shed a tear
When I pass your car pulled over, as you receive your souvenir.
I still got miles ahead, got a long, long way to go
I gotta find another mark to take on your flusher role.
Our drive together fleeting, oh the good times that we had.
So treasure your memento, is it wrong I don’t feel bad?

Chorus:
Gonna find me a bird dog, to speed right in front of me.
To flush out all the radar and take the heat off of me. x 2
