[Intro]
G C G C
[Verse]
G
I thought they had me up in Crown Point
C
Like they had Johnny years ago
G
I thought they had me surrounded
C
There’s one thing that they didn’t know
G
That I had me a plan
C
I’m not as dumb as I look
D
This bird ain’t meant for caging
C
I’m no ordinary dime store crook
[Chorus]
G
Tonight I’m bound for glory
C
Drinking lightning from a jar
G
I got a sweet little story
C
About where the fallen angels are
G C
I gotta Getaway Car
[Verse]
G
Seemed I was doing north of 90
C
By the Mason-Dixon Line
G
I had a road map of Rhode Island
C
I was cornered in a corn field in Carolina
G
Boxed in back in Branson
C
Had a safe house in Tennessee
D
I keep a Polaroid on the dashboard
C
Of a baby boy, who looks a lot like me
G
Tonight I’m bound for glory
C
Drinking lightning from a jar
G
I got a hangman in my head, my love
C
A war in my backyard,
C
I gotta get away
G
I gotta get away
C
I gotta Getaway Car
C
I gotta get away
G
I gotta get away
C
I gotta Getaway Car
[Bridge]
D
By this time tomorrow
C D
If the creek don’t rise
Am C D
I’ll be near the border of paradise
[Chorus]
G
Tonight I’m bound for glory
C
Drinking lightning from a jar
G
I got a sweet little story
C
About where the fallen angels are
C
I gotta get away
G
I gotta get away
C
I gotta Getaway Car
C
I gotta get away
G
I gotta get away
C
I gotta Getaway Car
C
I gotta get away
G
I gotta get away
C
I gotta Getaway Car
C
I gotta get away
G
I gotta get away
C
I gotta Getaway Car
G
I gotta Getaway Car
