Lyrics

Sitting in the park, it’s a sunny day,
Rollin' up a joint, watch the kids at play.
The breeze is cool, and the vibe is right,
I’m feelin’ good, I’m takin' flight.
The smoke curls up in the afternoon sky,
Feelin’ mellow, just watchin’ time fly by.
I’m lost in the haze, not a care in sight,
But little did I know, this day’d turn out tight.

I’m just smokin' in the park, feelin' free,
Lost in the clouds, where I wanna be.
But the sirens wail and the lights turn bright,
Guess I’m caught, in the wrong place, right?
A little too high, a little too bold,
Now I’m on the line, as the story’s told.
Caught in the park, with the smoke in the air,
Now I gotta face the man, who doesn’t care.
I hear the footsteps, and then I see the blue,
A couple of officers, what am I gonna do?
They walk my way, I try to stay cool,
But deep down I know, I’ve broken the rule.
They ask me to stand, they tell me to chill,
But I’m tryin' to act calm, though my heart’s standing still.
They say, “Son, what’s that you’ve got in your hand?”
I just smile and shrug, try to understand.

I’m just smokin' in the park, feelin' free,
Lost in the clouds, where I wanna be.
But the sirens wail and the lights turn bright,
Guess I’m caught, in the wrong place, right?
A little too high, a little too bold,
Now I’m on the line, as the story’s told.
Caught in the park, with the smoke in the air,
Now I gotta face the man, who doesn’t care.

They take a long look, then they shake their heads,
A warning this time, but next, who knows ahead?
They let me go, with a pat on my back,
Told me to move on, keep my life on track.
But I won’t forget that moment in the sun,
When I thought I was free, but I wasn’t the one.
Next time I’ll be smarter, take it out of sight,
But damn, that was one hell of a flight.

I’m just smokin' in the park, feelin' free,
Lost in the clouds, where I wanna be.
But the sirens wail and the lights turn bright,
Guess I’m caught, in the wrong place, right?
A little too high, a little too bold,
Now I’m on the line, as the story’s told.
Caught in the park, with the smoke in the air,
Now I gotta face the man, who doesn’t care.
Yeah, I’m caught in the park, but I’ll be back again,
Next time I’ll hide the smoke, won’t let it end.
Feelin' free, livin’ large, and a little high,
But next time, I’ll keep my eyes on the sky.
