Last night red lights & sirens sound |
|
Nine miles on a back street looking out of town |
|
Out of touch going underground |
|
Looking into the mirror |
|
You can see 'em bearing down |
|
(chorus) |
|
Long road winding, headlights in the dark |
|
Don't know where we're going, but it can't be to far... |
|
Ten g's three for you the rest i'll keep |
|
No clues no avenues, it's a perfect scheme |
|
Outskirts hang a left at the hanging tree |
|
Cause they say they're going to get you |
|
But they won't mess with me |
|
(chorus) |
|
Long road burnin', you know you can't look back |
|
Cause everywhere you are turning |
|
You can't escape the fact... |
|
Yeah they're getting closer now |
|
Step on it man, you know they're gaining ground |
|
Not afraid to die untill right now |
|
I can almost feel them breathing, fear for me.. |
|
Last night murder one was in the air |
|
Johnny didn't mean to do it, he was really scared |
|
Outlaws runnin' hiding who knows where |
|
Next time your on the outskirts, i'll be waiting there... |
|
(chorus) |
|
Long road a winding, headlights in the dark |
|
Long road returning |
|
Like a knife in your heart |
|
I'm on the outskirts now... |
