Flashback .. Fast Forward

I Casually Winked At Him .. Perhaps Next Time, Champ

I surrendered .. crazily smiling

God .. it was all so hilarious

total chaos had ensued

monroe police had my ID

checking me out over their radio

west monroe police arrived in numbers

they came to a rubber screeching halt

awkwardly jumped out of their cars

reached clumsily for their guns

hollering he's ours .. he's ours

a monroe cop said hold on cowboys

you'll have no jurisdiction 

you'll are all in monroe

it was insanely funny

then they all began arguing

it was like a military infantry

i'm weaving back and forth

stoned high .. standing in rain

I overheard a monroe cop 

calling his chief over his 2-way radio

a demanding reply crackled back

hold his ass there God damnit

I couldn't hold it back any longer

my giddy laughter bellowed out

I was surrounded by narcs and cops

west monroe and monroe police

were trying to pull each other back

from searching my smoking truck

west monroe police chief drove up

Captain Humble looked to be half asleep

he's my next door neighbor at one of my rental houses

he barked .. just what in the hell is going on

recognizing me .. turned and asked if i'm alright

he sniffed the light alcohol on my breath

asked me how much i'd drank

I replied .. only a couple of beers

he looked at my eyes .. said i'm good

screamed at the nearest cop to uncuff me

he said i'm a good man .. stood up for me

all came full circle in those tedious moments

he knew his son had turned me on to my first joint

a sad faced officer uncuffed me

whilst a narc shined his flashlight

visible pieces of sinsimilla buds

were stuck all over my cotton tee

quickly i began eating them

I looked up at someone else

monroe police Chief Hampton stood there

saying what's all this fucking hubbub about

Chief Humble slapped him on the shoulder

took him walking for a private conversation

both returned smiling like two cheshire cats

Royce hissed wickedly at me .. i'm going to catch you

I casually winked at him .. perhaps next time, champ
