The Getaway

Every time I hear that lonesome train roll down the track
Going away to unknown destinations
I believe there’s someone out there making the great escape
Travelling light, into the night, when so unexpectedly
It might hit you on a sunny afternoon
Without a warning there’s a thought, it just comes over you
And it’s a shadow on the sidewalk, someone like you
In a blink of an eye, waving goodbye
It’s time you made your getaway
In a suburb somewhere someone’s quietly planning their getaway
Traveling light, in case they might get a change of heart
It’s the bravest move they’ll ever make, but they have to make the break
That’s the risk that they take, so don’t hesitate, 'cos so unexpectedly
It might hit you on a sunny afternoon
Without a warning there’s a thought, it just comes over you
And it’s a shadow on the sidewalk, someone like you
It’s time you made your getaway
It might hit you on a sunny afternoon
Without a warning there’s a thought, it just comes over you
And it’s a shadow on the sidewalk, someone like you
It’s time you made your getaway
Oooh
Down
Take it down
Take it down
Go make that getaway
Get out the door before it’s too late
Or get that lonesome train
That lonesome train
That lonesome train
That lonesome train
