Sold My Luck

Drive me through the night without a word
I've got nowhere to go so let the engine run
Through the windowpane I see it all
I'm not proud of all the things I've done

It's time to make a real break with my past
Across the town the freeway's nose to tail
Someone just escaped twenty years of prison
I can hear a million sirens wail

This night won't loose its grip around my neck
They are searching the highways with their flashlights
I wrap my coat tighter around all my mistakes
This night must be longer than all other nights

I think I've messed it up real bad this time
Too late to regret I sold my luck for a dime
