The Man Who Got Away

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
Last night I went to the CoronadoI bought my ticket and I found my seatIt was a new adventure straight from HollywoodLights went down as I felt the heatThey went tearing from the final sceneBurning rubber, spilling gasolineAs the credits rolled awayThey were still chasing the man who got awayWell, every night for weeks and weeks nowI beat the traffic, I beat the heat nowFor two hours I can believe nowThe man who got away was meI went tearing from the final sceneBurning rubber, spilling gasolineAs the credits rolled awayThey were still chasing the man who got awayDrove into Stockton, my radio went deadThat's when I heard what the newsman saidSaid, "armed robbery on the ten-hundred blockWas two men involved and one man shotWell, while his accomplice made the paydayWith a 45 he blew the cashier away wayLast seen headed on the State HighwayDriving a late model ChevroletI went screaming from the final sceneIn a hail of bullets and flaming gasolineAs the credits rolled awayThey were still chasing the man who got awayMan that got awayMan that got awayMan that got awayWhoa!
