man .. how I wish
i'd a color photograph
of all the sudden frowns
upon the narcs .. cops faces
shiny glass bong in full view
my window down .. slowly driving by
I blew a cloud of smoke towards them
God damnit boy .. the chase was on
put my foot all the way to the floorboard
tires squealing rubber .. turning the corner
I heard the cops .. narcs choking
screaming that's him .. that's fucking him
I was out of there like scalding lightning
i'd a good head start .. I knew the streets
from north seventh street I took drago street
ran hard passing by the high school
I could hear sirens wailing
in the not too far distance
threw my weed, bong and pipe
out of my open window into tall shrubs
hoping to retrieve at a later time
I floored my vintage truck again
I was on cypress street in a minute
took a hard right on two wheels
laughing out loud like a madman
finished my ice cold heineken light
turned it up in one giant swig .. gurgling
threw the thick, dark green glass bottle
skywards .. real high over my head
it came spiraling down .. splintering glass
I swerved before I missed my quick left turn
one block later I was on trenton street
on the floor .. driving fast beside the river
had a mile to reach the louisville bridge
I ran blinking redlights all the way there
on duty cops were impatiently waiting for me
I drove between them .. raced over the bridge
monroe police were ready .. blocked me in
west monroe police were hot on my trail
right behind me .. I was trapped in a box
stoned high .. I couldn't stop laughing
