"Jailbreak" lyrics

"Jailbreak"

I'm burnin' up this gasoline
Like a screen door in a submarine
In this beat-up Ford
I really just can't afford
I'm drivin' south to sanity
Skippin' work on a Tuesday
Bag a clothes on the floorboard
Map stretched out on the dashboard
Lately I've been workin' non-stop
It's drivin' me like bars in a cellblock
But today I'm breakin' these handcuffs off

What a day, what a day, ain't it okay
Soothin' my soul
Rockin' down the interstate
I've gotta shake these shackles somehow
And run the road 'till it runs out
Gotta get away
What a good day for a jailbreak

I won't feel blue on a blacktop
I punched that peddle like a timeclock
Forget about the same routine
Sing along with Robert Earl King
If I could make it to Mexico
I'll change my pennies to pesos
And if I run outta daylight
San Anton' will do just fine
Well I can't turn back now
I'm on the run
Like Jesse James with the smokin' gun
Blue skies are callin' here I come

What a day, what a day, ain't it okay
Soothin' my soul
Rockin' down the interstate
I've gotta shake these shackles somehow
And run the road 'till it runs out
Gotta get away
What a good day for a jailbreak

Well no sir boss
Today I'm off
And I'll still be sick tomorrow
Well adios I better let you go
The sign ahead says tacos

What a day, what a day, ain't it okay
Soothin' my soul
Rockin' down the interstate
I've gotta shake these shackles somehow
And run the road 'till it runs out
Gotta get away
It's a good day
Gotta get away
What a good day for a jailbreak
