lyrics

CLEAN GETAWAY
BYRD/SUPA
2014

I WAS THIRTEEN YEARS OLD
WHEN I TASTED MY FIRST HIGH
THIRTEEN YEARS OLD
WHEN I ROLLED UP THAT FIRST HIGH
YEAH THAT BUZZ BECAME MY BEST FRIEND
AND IT TOOK ME FOR ONE HELL OF A RIDE

I WENT DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
MY LIFE WAS STRIPPED BARE TO THE BONE
SPENT YEARS ON THE BOTTOM
YA KNOW I CALLED THAT PLACE MY HOME
BY THE TIME THE RIDE WAS OVER
I WAS STRUNG OUT , DESPERATE AND ALL ALONE

ONLY ONE WAY OUT
HAD TO MAKE A CLEAN GETAWAY
ONE WAY OUT
HAD TO MAKE A CLEAN GETAWAY
NOW I’M FREE, A PRISONER NO MORE
LORD HAVE MERCY LET IT STAY THAT WAY

IT’S A CLEAN GETAWAY
AIN’T TIED TO THOSE CHAINS NO MORE
MADE A CLEAN GETAWAY
AIN’T TIED DOWN TO THOSE HEAVY CHAINS NO MORE
AND WHEN TROUBLE COMES A KNOCKIN’
YOU KNOW I AIN’T GONNA ANSWER THAT DOOR
