Cledus T. Judd - Riding With Inmate Jerome lyrics

I was just out of the rehab rolling through the neighborhood When I came across this homeboy Said he'd fix me up real good He led me down an alley And right through a chain link fence I had a hundred dollars I could spend It was parked out in the driveway at a house of ill-repute And in the back seat hung a double breasted lime green suit What that homeboy showed me nearly caused a heart attack For what he called a hooptie was a sky blue Cadillac And I felt a little nervous as I drove out of the hood But I loved that furry steering wheel And that dashboard made of wood I opened up the mini bar and in there I found a note The stationery said County Jail and this is what he wrote He said my (missaint???) is inmate Leroy Jerome And if youse readin this judge says I isn't coming home Though I am incarcerated I'll make a deal with you If you can keep my gals in line this car belongs to you Now ride low And drive slow And make her yours own You'll always be riding with Inmate Jerome The grill on the radiator was gold and shiny bright And I'd tell you those old curb feelers were handy late at night I get the feeling sometimes if I turn real quick I'd see A gold-toothed cat daddy in the seat right next to me One night I was hoppin and when I heard the breaking gla** And I can still remember the sounds of bullets whizzin' past Someone said they saw a man in a fur coat and fur hat Push me out of the motorcar and take his Caddy back It was a young man named inmate Leroy Jerome He's out of the joint the parole board sent him home Yes he was incarcerated...but he cut a deal or two Now he's got a brand new pinky ring and new Bruno Malli shoes Hey I think I caught a whiff of Michael Jordan's splash cologne I sho nuff of riding with inmate Jerome
