Getaway Car

Album: Tiny Televisions (2020)
  • Lori come down with the news weighing heavy like the heat
    looking out over her shoulder rolling down 17th
    she said some are born to die rich some folks just get by
    some people know just when to quit but me I just get high
    so pour out the whiskey drown the cocaine
    powdered gold spinning a lot of hard living washing down the drain
    they’re just chasing ghosts shooting stars with stones
    blindfold in the dark ’cause my mind is a getaway car
    they’re knocking down the door putting out the smoke
    I’m halfway to Tuscaloosa wearing last night’s clothes

    the August heat ain’t hurting me I’m feeling damn alright
    got a pill for love and a pill for luck with the DEA tonight
    so pour out the whiskey drown the cocaine
    powdered gold spinning a lot of hard living washing down the drain
    they’re just chasing ghosts shooting stars with stones
    blindfold in the dark ’cause my mind is a getaway car
    we’re all poets and strangers amphetamine saviors
    forgivers and takers Grand Avenue wasted
    so pour out the whiskey drown that cocaine
    powdered gold spinning a lot of hard living washing down the drain
    they’re just chasing ghosts shooting stars with stones
    blindfold in the dark ’cause my mind is a getaway car
    my mind is a getaway car
    thought about the flights I could have taken
    that honkytonk life I never chased it Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
