"I Shot the Sheriff" (Opie Version)
Based on the performance by Eric Clapton

I use to play for the Sheriff
I was his deputy, Uh-Oh-Oh!
I use to play for the Sheriff
I was his deputy, Uh-Oh-Oh!

Yeah! All around in my home town,
of Black Mountain, North Carolina they were so proud;
The Sheriff believed in me
Made me the starter, I played so well
I knew the fans believed in me
And I say....

Oh, now, now. Oh!
Where is The Sheriff?
Where is my Denny?
Oh, no! Yeah!
I say: Where is The Sheriff? Oh, Lord!
I gotta scalp tickets for this new clown?
Yeah! Ooh, ooh, oo-oh Yeah!

Sheriff Green always trusted me
But sent me away when Randall replaced me
I went to another team and played for Chucky
I got lucky and won a ring.
I was even team MVP
And so.....

Oh, now, now. Oh!
Where is The Sheriff?
Where is my Denny?
Oh, no! Yeah!
I say: Where is The Sheriff? Oh, Lord!
I gotta scalp tickets for this new clown?
Yeah! Ooh, ooh, oo-oh Yeah!

I was cut by Tampa one day
I still want to play
Got a call from Arizona, saw Sheriff Green
And I shot him to the ground
And I shot - I shot - I shot him down and I say:
I wish Sheriff Green were 'live today

Oh, now, now. Oh!
Where is The Sheriff?
Where is my Denny?
Oh, no! Yeah!
I say: Where is The Sheriff? Oh, Lord!
I gotta scalp tickets for this new clown?
Yeah! Ooh, ooh, oo-oh Yeah!

I didn;t want to play in the heat
I wanted to finish in Purple, feel the Metrodome beat
Going back to Minneapolis and gonna raise some hell
Opie's back in town
Time to ring the bell
I say

Oh, now, now. Oh!
Where is The Sheriff?
Where is my Denny?
Oh, no! Yeah!
I say: Where is The Sheriff? Oh, Lord!
I gotta scalp tickets for this new clown?
Yeah! Ooh, ooh, oo-oh Yeah!

Welcome home Brad!!!!
