My Great Escape

Kicking stones down by the gypsy shacks
along the wrong side of the tracks
stepping over all the cracks
I cross my fingers too
Wishing on that lucky day
when I finally make my getaway
won't be nothing left to say, no, no
only one thing left to do
Just run through the valleys
and down through the woods
out in the alleys
past the old neighborhoods
and I know I got
so far to travel and the hour is late
but it's out of the darkness when I make
My Great Escape
When I make
My Great Escape
- He's travelling down the road tonight
His heart is heavy but his load is light
he fakes to the left and he moves to the right
on a lonely road tonight
he moves to the right
he drops a penny into a wishing well
nobody hears him as far as he can tell
he sees a thousand other wishes lying there
and he rightly wonders if the gods will care
if the gods are gonna care
so he runs through the valley
and on through the wood
down in the alleys past the old neighborhood
and he's got so far to travel and the hour is late
but it's out of the darkness when he makes his great escape
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
la la la la la la
When he makes his great escape.
When he makes his great escape.
