[A] [Am] [A]
[Am]
Well now the little crazy little out of my head
They told me only take one, I took two in bed
There's a preacher on the corner, he yellin' at me
I got a pocket full [G] of chitlins and some collard greens
Now the dogs all barking and they got a nose on my [Am] trail
They [G] say I'll wind up [F] dead or I'll end up in [Am] jail
I took a left down the alley and there's needles on the ground
Broken glass everywhere and the trash is gone sour
I think I see a woman but I really can't tell
Probably just another man who [F] disguised himself well
[G] Mister do you have a quarter or a dollar that you can [Am] spare?
They [G] say I'll wind up [F] dead or I'll end up [Am] in jail
I [F] swear to you, my, I swear to you, dear
[Am] Wasn't nothin' I took, wasn't nothin' that bad
[F] I'm a runner, cash, and I'm stuck downtown
[G] Ain't nothin' like the feelin' of comin' down

I [Am] said that I'm sorry, I said that I'm done
I'm gonna go [Em] back to college, I'm gonna [Ab] quit drugs
[A] But [Cm] if you come and [A] get me I will even [Am] go to church
I started reading the Bible, I started [D] every verse
[G] And when I get home I'm gonna steal somethin' I can [Am] sell
They [G] say I'll wind up dead [F] or I'll end up in [Am]
jail
I [F] swear to you, my, I swear to you, dear
[Am] Wasn't nothin' I took, wasn't nothin' that bad
