[Verse 1]
Oh, he deals them off of the top, ties them off
Fills it up with his past, gets carried away
Oh, half his life, a hand-me-down wasted away
Oh, he fills it up with the love of a girl

[Verse 2]
Oh, he left it alone and drilled the pain with money to buy

[Chorus]
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Oh, he chose a path, heavy the fall, quarter to four
Fills his night with the thought of a girl

[Chorus]
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway
How he makes his getaway, getaway, ah

[Instrumental Outro]
