The old man's been drinking

Herself home alone more and more

The goddamn neighbours all keeping score

"Make a pallet by the screen door, dear
C G
Try and get some cool air in here"
D G
Listening to the highway rolling past
C G D
And I dream of a getaway car
One with no brakes or plates
Dark and swift without a trace
C G D
I'll drive it, oh, so far away
Straight out into the night
G C G C G C D G
I'm gonna bury it all in the glow of my taillights
C G
Town pump's at the edge of town
C G
The whores call his name when he comes around
D G
Three sheets to the wind like a millionaire
C G
Crawls home on his hands and knees
C G
To three hungry mouths to feed
D G
Their bellies as empty as the Frigidaire
C G D
And I dream of a getaway car
One with no brakes or plates
Dark and swift without a trace
C G D
I'll drive it, oh, so far away
Straight out into the night
G C G
I'm gonna bury it all in the glow of my taillights
