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
Instrumental
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
