Outta Here Lyrics

The red carpet ends at the limo

That takes me wherever I go

The crowd feels my rage as I stomp off the stage

They're crying out for more as I bust through the door

The engine is humming real low

The driver he turns around slow

In a voice that is leaden he asks where we headin'

But I really don't care so I say anywhere

'Cos I'm getting outta' here

The voice in my head is making that clear

The song in my heart says there's nothing to fear

Just let the crowd cheer

There's a boat waiting down at the dock

She's sailing right at 6 o'clock

So I grab a small bag, tie my hair with a rag

It's a quarter past four and I'm gone out the door

I step up the pace in my walk

When the horn blasts I'm at the last block

The Skipper asks me why I'm headin' to sea

But he backs up real slow when I say I don't know

'Cos I'm getting outta' here

The voice in my head is making that clear

The song in my heart says there's nothing to fear

You don't wanna' be near

Now there's nothing to say that will help change my mind

My fate has been sealed, it's delivered and signed

To not see this coming you'd have to be blind

I won't see you next year

Well I figure it's time now for me to move out

And I hope that I'll make you feel sorry no doubt

But the word on the street is you won't scream and shout

At least that's what I hear

There's a box car down on the track

If I hop on I ain't coming back

It may take me out west where the weather's the best

We might roll to the sky where the people are high

So I tie up some clothes in a sack

And I'm tossing it over my back

It's starting to rain as I jump on the train

Which suits me just fine it's the end of the line

'Cos I'm getting outta' here

The voice in my head is making that clear

The song in my heart says there's nothing to fear

So let's get it in gear

Got a ticket for the next plane

And a bottle to keep in the pain

So I grab all my cash and I hope we don't crash

Once we're up in the air then I no longer care

I think that the pilot's insane

She announces the time in Bahrain

I'm not sure this will be the right place for me

But I'm laying in the sand just as soon as we land

'Cos I'm getting outta' here

The voice in my head is making that clear

The song in my heart says there's nothing to fear

And I won't shed a tear

I don't care where I go, or what you do when I'm gone

You can take all my things throw them out on the lawn

You've been wanting your chance now to get your groove on

You've made that quite clear

Well you've been telling me that we both need our space

And I have to admit that you've made a strong case

So I'm grabbing a cab, getting out of this race

I don't give a damn my dear

At the end of the street there's a bar

I can get there it's not very far

If you don't wanna' think Mike will pour you a drink

Or he'll line up some shots until your brain rots

So I hand him the keys to my car

And I drop a ten-spot in his jar

And I feel like a fool when I pull up a stool

And pretend I don't care that I'm going nowhere

'Cos I'll never get outta' here

The ache in my head is making that clear

The pain in my heart has now filled me with fear

Someone get me a beer
