Intro: The old man's been drinking And momma's been driving Herself home alone more and more Baby tugging at her breast Little devil won't take no rest The goddamn neighbours all keeping score It's momma's birthday Oh, but the bills ain't paid We'll sit alone in the dark "Make a pallet by the screen door, dear Try and get some cool air in here" Listening to the highway rolling past And I dream of a getaway car One with no brakes or plates Dark and swift without a trace I'll drive it, oh, so far away Straight out into the night I'm gonna bury it all in the glow of my taillights Town pump's at the edge of town The whores call his name when he comes around Three sheets to the wind like a millionaire Crawls home on his hands and knees To three hungry mouths to feed Their bellies as empty as the Frigidaire And I dream of a getaway car One with no brakes or plates Dark and swift without a trace I'll drive it, oh, so far away Straight out into the night I'm gonna bury it all in the glow of my taillights OUTRO:
