Lyrics

Beautiful Beaches (Orchestral Version)

[Verse 1]

Better wake up my love, get up

It’s time

Time to get out of Dodge

[Verse 2]

That case won’t fit the car

Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches

Put your foot down to the floor

Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches

[Chorus]

We’ll take our chances

Take our chances

Burning down the houses

We’re surrounded

Take our chances

Get out of Kansas

Escape

Time to escape

Time to escape

[Verse 3]

It’s coming over the ridge past canyon trail

Smoke in the air

Woke me up in the night

[Verse 4]

That life we left behind

Racing, we’re racing down to those beautiful beaches

Put your foot down to the floor

Racing, we’re racing down to those beautiful beaches

[Chorus]

We’ll take our chances

Take our chances

Burning down the houses

We’re surrounded

Take our chances

Get out of Kansas

Escape

Time to escape

Time to escape

[Chorus]

Take our chances

Take our chances

Burning down the houses

We’re surrounded

Take our chances

Get out of Kansas

Escape

Time to escape

Time to escape
