Lyrics

Layla

Midnight and I'm drying your tears on my sleeve
Let's leave the unread messages on ice please
How many burgers you wanna turn?
How many times you wanna get burned?
They just don't understand
This isn't the place you end up
Hey
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this town
You've only got one bag, so it's time to pack it
My old man's gun still in the glove compartment
How many dollars you wanna earn?
How many times 'til you're gonna learn?
See where one tank of gas
Gets us in this lonely world
Hey
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this town
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this town
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this town
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this broken place
Lay low, Layla
Let's get outta this town
