Clean Getaway

Guitar
Ukulele

Intro

 

Verse

Somebody tell me, somebody try

Where was I goin’ when I said goodbye

When I said goodbye to her

I think I said something like it’s time I go

I gave her one last kiss and that’s all I know

That’s all I know for sure

Chorus

Now it’s in the songs I sing, it’s the price I pay

There’s no such thing as a clean getaway

Verse

The room started growin’ underneath my feet

Could have been the rain, could have been the heat

Could have been the heat about her

I knew I had to leave her, had to leave her bad

I needed my freedom, it was all I had

It was all I had for sure

Chorus

Now it’s in the songs I sing, it’s the price I pay

There’s no such thing as a clean getaway

Verse

Now I’m ridin’ a taxi, I’m waitin’ on a train

I sit by the window on a big jet plane

I can’t get her out of my mind

Well she’s long gone now, I saw to that

And I cussed myself ‘cause she ain’t coming back

She ain’t coming back this time

Chorus

It’s in the songs I sing, it’s the price I pay

There’s no such thing as a clean getaway
