Just To Get Away

Quit my job, told my boss to stand aside
Grabbed a gun, a fifth of booze, jumped in my ride
Got my girl, she's sixteen and she's really special
I can't slow down, I've got a date with the devil

Two tons of steel, a hundred miles an hour
No looking back, grooving on the power

Responsibility made me quit
I'm sick of this motherfucking goddamn shit
There's a road, beyond it lies, I don't know
I just gotta run, just gotta go

No looking back, grooving on the power

I never sang a love song
Never owned a car
I've never met a machine that'd drive me this far

Not gonna listen to a word you say
Leaving in the morning just to get away
Can't stand myself for another day
Leaving in the morning just to get away
