Deadorin Jail Songtext
von William Clark Green

I′m a little crazy a 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 chitlens 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 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
Probably 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

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 said that I′m sorry I said that I'm done I′m done
I'm guna go back to college I'm guna 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 guna steal something I can sell
They say I'll wind up dead or I′ll end up in jail.
