Woke up in the morning six on the dot pulled out in a hurry from the parking lot I got drop top Cadillac ready to burn There was a cop behind me as I made the turn On the Southbound 101 haulin' ass One hand on the bottle and foot on the gas As the wheels keep turning round and round I'm on the highway nowhere bound And I'm nowhere to be found
Get out of the way! I'm at the end of my rope now I've been burning up gas and kicking up dust I gotta get out of this town Outside the law And on the verge of a breakdown I'm a blazing Molotov cocktail, TNT Rolled into one
Doing 95 the light of day Made a call to my cousin in Monterey He said "no worries man you know I'll help you hide And by the way welcome to the other side" I gotta sawed off shotgun and a box of shells And my old machete's got a story to tell If I make it there I'll get off clean I need whiskey and gasoline I gotta split this scene
Covered three cities in an hour tops When the motel clerk tipped off the cops He said he's seen my face all over the place On the TV screen during a high speed chase I got ten grand riding on my head And a poster "Wanted Alive or Dead" My eyes are red and the future's dim I'm out here on a limb
