The Getaway (Acoustic)

(Album: Simmer Down (Acoustic) - 2020)

Please don't chase me anymore
I nearly forgot just what I'm running for
I meant no harm, my gas pedal's to the floor

People watch this on TV
Never thought that this could happen to me
I can't stop now and it still seems like a dream

Never thought I'd hurt someone
Now I see you clutching your gun
You're playing for keeps and there's no place left to run

I had to make a choice, I made it
If I had another chance I'd take it
I've got to find a way to make a getaway
A getaway, a getaway

Today my future looked so bright
All it took was one red light
The sirens were close behind and my brain said fight or flight

So I ran from my mistake
Not the best choice I could make
The helicopter reminds me that this time there's no lucky break

I had to make a choice, I made it
If I had another chance I'd take it
I've got to find a way to make a getaway
A getaway, a getaway

Please don't chase me anymore
I nearly forgot just what I'm running for

I always did things my own way
Never cared what the experts say
I thought they were so full of shit, I guess it's time to pay

I always dreamed I'd have it all
Never thought I'd take the fall
And now I've run out of chances and all I can see is the wall

I had to make a choice, I made it
If I had another chance...

(Make a getaway)
I had to make a choice, I made it
(Make a getaway)
If I had another chance I'd take it
(Make a getaway)
I've got to find a way to make a getaway
A getaway, a getaway

A getaway, a getaway, a getaway
