Verse 1:
Am
I’m a little crazy a little out of my head
Am
They told me only take one I took two instead
Am
There’s a Preacher on the corner yellin’ at me
Am
I got a pocket full of chitlens and collard greens
G Am
Now the dogs are barkin’ and they got a nose on my trail
G F Am
They say I’ll wind up dead or I’ll end up in jail
Am
I took a left down the alley and there’s needles on the ground
Am
Broken glass everywhere and the trash has gone sour
Am
I think I see a woman but I really can’t tell
Am
Probably just another man who disguised himself well
G Am
Mister do you have a quarter or a dollar that you can spare
G F
They say I’ll wind up dead or I’ll end up in jail
Chorus:
F
Well I swear to you mom I swear to you Dad
Am
Wasn’t nothin’ I took wasn’t nothin’ that bad
F
I’m all out of cash and I’m stuck downtown
G
Aint nothin’ like the feelin’ of comin’ down
Verse 2:
Am
I said that I’m sorry I said that I’m done I’m done
Am
I’m guna go back to college I’m guna quit drugs
Am
Well if you come and get me I will even go to church
Am
I started readin’ the bible I swear it every verse
G Am
And when I get home I’m guna steal something I can sell
G F Am
They say I’ll wind up dead or I’ll end up in jail
Chorus x2
