I've been in trouble since I don't know when
Stole a car and I wrecked it again
Misdemeanor and a felony
I guess a clean life ain't for me
I've made a promise and it's understood
I'd go your bail if you tried to be good
But Sioux City, downtown, Wichita
We're just one step ahead of love
Ooh, baby
They're trying to take us down
Oh, baby
We gotta split this town
Hear the warden with the southern drawl
Making X's on a jailhouse wall
I did my time and now I'm free
From this dirty penitentiary
One thing to keep on a note
There's someone staring right out the window
State you were on the overpass
So crank the engine and hit the gas
Ooh, baby
They're trying to take us down
Oh, save me
We gotta split this town
Vagabonds and grifters
I knew them all by name
Life on the run
We drive a man insane
Life on the run
Is all I can take
When it comes to you
A habit I can't shake
Ooh, baby
They're trying to take us down

Oh, save me
We gotta split this town
Ooh, baby
They're trying to tear us down
Oh, save me
We gotta split this town
Ooh, baby
We gotta split this town
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, baby
We gotta split this town
We gotta split this town
