lyrics

We were wasting the weekend
you were standing in the sun
said I couldn't have something
but we could try to have fun
so when you come around asking
you only had to ask once
and by the time I met your boyfriend
I don't think he really liked me much

I've never got away with anything at all
I'm always getting caught red-handed
standing in the cookie jar
a fat lip, I got a big black eye
he said, 'now what're you laughing for?'
I've never done a damn thing wrong
and got away with it before

I've got a belly full of cheap wine
my eyes on the road
that yellow line is a son-of-a-bitch
it just won't sit still
I'm not really a bad guy
I just lose control
So I'm taking my sweet time
I'll try to get back home to you

I've never got away with anything at all
I'm always getting caught red-handed
standing in the cookie jar
red lights in the rearview
well tell me what are they flashing for?
I've never done a damn thing wrong
and got away with it before

I need a getaway driver
I need an alibi
Could use a good excuse or two now and then
man I got no reason to try anymore

I've been running my whole life
I only got this far
Somehow I ended up empty handed walking out the liquor store
I got this head of bad ideas
I'm wondering what do I need it for?

I've been running my whole life
but I never got too far
I never got too far
I can't seem to get away
