Driving down the road a thousand miles an hour Hoping that the rain won't fall A dry road's a fast road and I've got a long way to go Got to get beyond the sirens howl Had a little trouble in a low down booze joint Just pa**ing through town Twenty seconds later there's a man on the floor And I'm running form the sheriff of the town Gotta make it to the state line Can I escape the land of the free Gotta make it to the state line They're never gonna get there hands on me Try turning on the radio Police say they're closing in quickly on the suspect Sweat running down in rivers on my brow I'm not a criminal but now there's no turning back Gotta make it to the state line Can I escape the land of the free Gotta make it to the state line They're never gonna get there hands on me Now I'm gunning for the border As the sirens split the sky In the name of law and order But I refuse to die Gotta make it to the state line Can I escape the land of the free Gotta make it to the state line They're never gonna get there hands on me I'm gunning for the border; Gunning for the border I'm running gunning for the border I can see it up ahead now There it is, there it is Shift gears and I'm on my way
