"Get Out Of Denver (Live)"

I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin'
My '60 Cadillac was rollin' through Nebraska whinin'
Doin' a hundred twenty, man the fields was bendin' over
Headin' out for the mountains knowin' we was travelin' further
All our fires were blazin' and the spinnin' wheels were turnin', turnin'
Had my girl beside me brother, brother, she was burnin', burnin'

Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
She had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us goin'
She put out all she had and laid it on the counter showin'
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
Cops came bustin' in and man we lit out in a pickup truck and go

Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver
'Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver

Well, red lights were flashin' and the sirens started screamin'
We had to pinch each other just to see if we was dreamin'
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

The rain kept drivin' but the Caddy kept on burnin' rubber
We kept on drivin' 'til we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on goin'
We kept on drivin' all night long and then into the mornin'
Fog had finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We were staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat and go

Get out of Denver, he said go, go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver
'Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver, better go
Oh, better, better, better go
Hey, go
Ah, better, better go, go, go, go
'Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver, better go

Bob Seger!

You paid your money and you want to hear some more?
Money's awful hard to get these days
Let's have it, let's hear it, come on
Come on, come on, Detroit
Hey, Bob Seger, Bob Seger!
Okay people, we love you but let's take it easy, okay?
Let's not get anybody get hurt, alright?
We'll rock and roll for you, come on
Let's just take it easy up front here
Can we rock and roll you one more?
Can we please rock and roll you one more?
