This is another one of my personal favourites, as it lets me slip inside the soul of someone else. The inspiration comes out of things like “The Midnight Cowboy” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Meeting Across The River”.

Getaway Lyrics
Verse 1
In this big city there is nowhere to run
I've got no money, but I've got a gun
If I don't get my way
It's clear I'll kill someone
Don't want to hurt them, I just want them scared
Give me their money and I'll be walking on air
I'll make my getaway
But if they get in my way I'll use this gun
Chorus
Don't want to, I swear
But if I have to, I dare
Got to get away
I have to get away
Verse 2
Here it is dirty and the people are so mean
I've seen a brochure of somewhere that's clean
I've got to get away
Before I'll kill someone
Maybe it's the case of the grass that is greener
If the cops ever catch me, I'm sure I won't leave here
I've got to get away
Just one last job I say
But that's what I always say
This time will be the one
Chorus
Don't want to, I swear
But if I have to, I dare
Got to get away
I have to get away
Verse 3
Me I don't like it, but it's kind of fun
My heart's starts pounding when I pull out my gun
If I don't get my way
I know I'll kill someone
No decent jobs in this city of slime
If it's legal, you won't make a dime
It's a sin they say
And I won't get away
No I won't get away
If I kill someone
