Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Better wake up, my love, get up
It's time, time to get out of Dodge
[Verse 2]
That case won't fit the car
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches
Put your foot down to the floor
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches
[Verse 3]
We'll take our chances, take our chances
Burning down the houses, we're surrounded
Take our chances, get out of Kansas
Escape
Time to escape
Time to escape
[Verse 4]
It's coming over the ridge past canyon trail
Smoke in the air, mmm, woke me up in the night
[Verse 5]
That life we left behind
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches
Put your foot down to the floor
Racing, we're racing down to those beautiful beaches
[Verse 6]
We'll take our chances, take our chances
Burning down the houses, we're surrounded
Take our chances, get out of Kansas
Escape
Time to escape
Time to escape
[Verse 7]
Take our chances, take our chances
Burning down the houses, we're surrounded
Take our chances, get out of Kansas
Escape
Time to escape
