Thought I'd get a little out of my tree, I didn't know how far I'd get.
Took a look in the mirror, but I couldn't find the strength to spit.
Took a dive in the water of life, and believe me you I went for a swim.
And by the time the rollers finally pulled me over, I knew I'd take a ride with them.
[Chorus:]
So slap the cuffs on buddy,
help yourself to my money.
I wish I had more to give but you see I'm kinda strapped right now.
Yeah slap the cuffs on buddy,
I can see you think it's funny.
And could you take your foot off my neck for a second
so I can peel my face off the ground.
Getting thick, a little big for my shoes, got to thinking I was big jim slade.
Some thought-he-was with a chip on his shoulder pulled the pin on this hand grenade.
Made him acquainted with a brick wall, it's tough to whistle when you look that way.
But the man from the law came and broke me in the b****
and now I'm counting out the months and days.
[Chorus]
Hey man I'm out now, come pick me up and we'll go get a drink.
Yeah I'm out now, cross our fingers we don't end up in the clink.
I'm out now, I'll step a little more light this time.
I'm staying out forever, there ain't no life in a life of crime.
Took a look in the mirror, but I couldn't find the strength to spit.
Took a dive in the water of life, and believe me you I went for a swim.
And by the time the rollers finally pulled me over, I knew I'd take a ride with them.

So slap the cuffs on buddy,
