Harm’s Way

[Verse 1]
Well, I slipped out the back door as the ambulance arrived
I would've liked to tell 'em my story, but I know I would've lied
So I pawned my sister's diamond ring, got on the Greyhound's back
I figured with a little leeway I might just get on track

[Chorus]
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way
Hey!

[Verse 2]
By the time I got to Chicago, I thought I had something to sell
But the deal fell through as they always do
C'est la vie, what the hell
Every time I think of my baby working in that old coalmine
I feel so goddamn guilty, I almost change my mind

[Chorus]
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way

[Outro]
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's way
And I'm just trying to stay out of harm's, harm's way
