Dead or in Jail (Live) Lyrics

I'm a little crazy, little out of my head
They told me "Only take one," I took two instead
There's a preacher on the corner yellin' at me
I got a pocket full of chitlins and collard greens
Now the dogs are barkin' and they got a nose on my trail
They say I'll wind up dead or I'll end up in jail

[Verse 2]
I took a left down the alley and there's needles on the ground
Broken glass everywhere and the trash has gone sour
I think I see a woman but I really can't tell
Prob'ly just another man who disguised himself well
Mister do you have a quarter or a dollar that you can spare
They say I'll wind up dead or I'll end up in jail

[Chorus]
Well I swear to you, Mom, I swear to you, Dad:
Wasn't nothin' I took, wasn't nothin' that bad
I'm all out of cash and I'm stuck downtown
Ain't nothin' like the feelin' of comin' down

[Verse 3]
I said that I'm sorry, I said that I'm done
I'm gonna go back to college, I'm gonna quit drugs
Well if you come and get me I will even go to church
I started readin' the bible, I swear it every verse
And when I get home I'm gonna steal something I can sell
They say I'll wind up dead or I'll end up in jail

[Chorus]
Well I swear to you, Mom, I swear to you, Dad:
Wasn't nothin' I took, wasn't nothin' that bad
I'm all out of cash and I'm stuck downtown
Ain't nothin' like the feelin' of comin' down
I swear to you, Mom, I swear to you, Dad:
Wasn't nothin' I took, wasn't nothin' that bad
I'm all out of cash and I'm stuck downtown
Ain't nothin' like the feelin' of comin' down
