Pull in for gas just off the main five
We go together like partners in crime
Tell your neighbours' you're taking some time
Come midnight you'll cross the state line
Hold up in a motel (you) keep a low key
Said it be easy, they said it be clean
Feel like a dog left out in the street
Turning ugly; you better get mean
Chorus:
Hide away
Trust no one
Change your name when you're on the run
Count your pennies as you watch the door
Hide in the shadows when you go to the store
Check for messages; don't say you've called
Leave no trace when it's time to move on
When you gonna get away
Never you mind
Hoping just to slip away
Life is unkind
Life is unkind
Woke up this morning with a feeling of dread
Watch the shadows as I lie in bed
Live like this day after day
Come tomorrow it all could end
