lyrics
Take me away,
take me far as my car will go,
hubcaps falling off in Los Alamos.
Just get me out, get me shaved, make me straight,
please wake me early I'm so sick of being late.
Give me one last chance at heaven
& I swear to hell I'll make Saint Peter smile,
just get me out of Ohio,
on the road for a little while.
Just start my car and drive it
til it runs flat out of gas,
just get me south of the railroad bridge,
just get these cops up off my ass.
Take me away, take me far as my car can go,
put "Born to Run" in the tape deck
and drive to Los Alamos.
Just get me washed, get me combed,
brush the gleam back in my teeth,
just get me past the county line,
I'll face whatever fate I might meet.
Make me laugh out on the highway,
get me high, get me drunk,
we can blow holes right through heaven
with the shotgun in my trunk.
Just start my car, take me away,
as far as it can go,
'cause we can have a wonderful time
hitchhiking from Los Alamos.
And when I get to heaven
to Saint Peter I will tell,
"Sir, I am from Ohio,
I've served my time in hell."
take me far as my car will go,
hubcaps falling off in Los Alamos.
Just get me out, get me shaved, make me straight,
please wake me early I'm so sick of being late.
Give me one last chance at heaven
& I swear to hell I'll make Saint Peter smile,
just get me out of Ohio,
on the road for a little while.
Just start my car and drive it
til it runs flat out of gas,
just get me south of the railroad bridge,
just get these cops up off my ass.
Take me away, take me far as my car can go,
put "Born to Run" in the tape deck
and drive to Los Alamos.
Just get me washed, get me combed,
brush the gleam back in my teeth,
just get me past the county line,
I'll face whatever fate I might meet.
Make me laugh out on the highway,
get me high, get me drunk,
we can blow holes right through heaven
with the shotgun in my trunk.
Just start my car, take me away,
as far as it can go,
'cause we can have a wonderful time
hitchhiking from Los Alamos.
And when I get to heaven
to Saint Peter I will tell,
"Sir, I am from Ohio,
I've served my time in hell."
