[Verse 1]
Drove all night from New York City
In your best friend's car
Knocked on my door about 5:30
Nursing a broken heart

Still got your keys in your back pocket
Still got your jacket on
Back door's open, baby, I don't lock it
We can leave anytime we want

[Pre-Chorus]
I got my motor runnin', fingers drummin'
I never planned to stay

[Chorus]
Getaway, you know it's now or never
Getaway, nobody lives forever
We're only waitin' just to make our getaway

[Verse 2]
Hey, baby, we were good together
Seemed like you'd always be my girl
But looking back now we were just too clever
Thinking love could change the world
[Pre-Chorus]
You know there's no point in waitin', hesitatin'
We gotta leave today...

[Chorus]
Getaway, you know it's now or never
Getaway, nobody lives forever
We're only waitin' just to make our getaway
Oh, getaway now

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
I got my motor runnin', fingers drummin'
I never planned to stay

[Chorus]
Getaway, you know it's now or never
Getaway, nobody lives forever
We're only waitin' just to make our getaway
Hey, what do you say, hey
Getaway, nobody lives forever
Getaway, you know it's now or never
We're only waitin' just to make our getaway
Huh, oh, yeah
We're only waitin' just to make our getaway
Oh, yeah
We're only waitin' just to make our getaway
[Outro]
Getaway now
Better keep on rollin', oh, yeah
We gotta getaway now
