The Getaway People The Turnpike Diaries Lyrics
1.Deceived By An Angel

Lyricist:Boots, Leroy

Trust you to stand before me like an angel
All dressed in sweet conceit, though I can't see it
I'm running around in circles, but still I can't understand
But with my third eye open, I can see
That you treat me like a fool

But one more lie that I can't take
It's my tree that you shake
So shake my soul to the ground and shake me down

Trust you to want to want me, but do you need me?
I pull petals from a flower, do you love me?
I've seen you around my garden and you make the flowers bloom
But when spring comes early, summers pass
And autumn comes to soon

But one more lie that I can't take
It's my tree that you shake
So shake my soul to the ground and shake me down

'Cause I was deceived by an angel
I was deceived by an angel
I was deceived by an angel, by an angel, oh

Oh baby, can't you understand
That you're looking at a broken man
If I could pick up the pieces of my broken heart
I would do it all again

But one more lie that I can't take
It's my tree that you shake
So shake my soul to the ground and shake me down

'Cause I was deceived by an angel
I was deceived by an angel
I was deceived by an angel, by an angel, oh

I was deceived by an angel
I was deceived by an angel
I was deceived by an angel, by an angel, oh


2.There She Goes

Lyricist:Boots

Small town girl goes west
'Cause she thinks it's the only way to stay alive
Now, she knows best who's who 'n' who's not
Who's hot and who's the more fly

Now when she stands before you
And you're trying to conversate
What you don't know is she's scanning the room
For a bigger fish to swallow the bait

Now stepping stones and licking bones and cast them all aside
I wonder what she's looking for tonight

There she goes again
Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin'
There she goes again
Tryin' all the new stuff, tryin' to be fly

There she goes again
Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin'
There she goes again
Tryin' to be a new star, tryin' to get high

All decked out in her designer clothes
'Cause she's shootin' from the hip with a credit card
Everybody thinks she's a little bit old
But you can't take long on an eyesore

Drivin' in a beamer with the top down
Sunset queen in a big town
If you don't pay she'll go out of your way
Yeah, you don't want her hanging around

Now a stick and stone may break the bone, but it don't quench
the fire
I wonder what she's looking for tonight

There she goes again
Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin'
There she goes again
Tryin' all the new stuff, tryin' to be fly

There she goes again
Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin'
There she goes again
Tryin' to be the new star, tryin' to get high

Now stepping stones and licking bones and cast them all aside
I wonder what she's looking for tonight

And there she goes again
There she goes again
There she goes again
There she goes again

There she goes again
Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin'
There she goes again
Tryin' all the new stuff, tryin' to be fly

There she goes again
Slippin' and slidin', duckin' and divin'
There she goes again
Tryin' to be the new star, tryin' to get high

Now, she is so high

She is so high
She is so high
She is so high
...


3.Six Pacs

Lyricist:Boots, Leroy

Ladies and gentlemen, it is my absolute pleasure
To introduce to you, here, tonight
The Getaway People for you listening pleasure

From the prisons of Birmingham to the Walnut creek
They rise above the loud speaker
So, we can share in their love

Six Pacs and Bigmacs keep us rollin' down the road
Cigarettes and coffee, where ever we go
Learn to appreciate those simple little things
And open up my arms to what the road might bring

Cramped in a van and we do the best we can
On a journey filled with tears and laughter
From the Journey Turnpike
We set sail on the getaway rafter

People all around us, they shower us with love
You better keep it comin' â~cause we just can't get enough

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Now, slip me a can and I pour it in a glass
So, we can share a little love and happiness
Don't matter who you are or where you came from
â~Cause if you're down with the G, came get some

Crusin' â~round the country through every little town
You always find the coolest of people come around

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Six Pacs and Bigmacs keep us rollin' down the road
Cigarettes and coffee, where ever we go
People all around us, they shower us with love
You better keep it comin' â~cause we just can't get enough

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime

Where would we be without a little love?
You can't get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit of love sometime


4.Open Your Mind

Lyricist:Boots, Leroy

I'm over the hill and far away
But you can see me
At the corner of a liquor store every day
Over and above the crowd I'm on my cloud
But nobody ever listens to what I say

Could it be the way I portray my existence?
People always keep in the distance
You're so, so blind in my own paradise

Open your mind
Let your spirit fly
Peace in our time
Everything is fine
In your own paradise

See me coming from afar one happy day
But you do your very best to avoid me in every way
The sign is on your face with every trace
Wrong time, wrong place

You violate my space with your paper cup
My dollar bill, you drink it up
Not that I care what I left behind
Outta sight and out of my mind

Open your mind


5.Soi Cowboy

Lyricist:Boots, Leroy

She was the apple of her father's eye
Nobody told her expectations were way too high
Paying her dues in a sleazy go-go bar
It's like butterfly stuck in a jar

Soi cowboy with a pocket full of dollars
Cheap lipstick on his collar but he don't care
She's just a Thai girl with a head full of dreams
But lemme tell you, honey, that nothing's what it seems

Oh no, she's just a Thai girl
That's not all she is
She's just a Thai girl

He said he'd make of her an honest girl
That they would get away and see the world some day
Well, at the oyster there's a grain of sand

Soi cowboy with a pocket full of dollars
Cheap lipstick on his collar but he don't care
She's just a Thai girl with a head full of dreams
But lemme tell you, honey, that nothing's what it seems

Oh no, she's just a Thai girl
That's all she is
She's just a Thai girl

If you think that it is true love he is looking for, looking for
Can't you see that the only thing he'll ever be, ever be?

A soi cowboy with a pocket full of dollars
Cheap lipstick on his collar but he don't care
She's just a Thai girl with a head full of dreams
But lemme tell you, honey, that nothing's what it seems

Soi cowboy with a pocket full of dollars
Cheap lipstick on his collar but he don't care
She's just a Thai girl with a head full of dreams
But lemme tell you, honey, let me tell you, honey
Let me tell you, honey, nothing's what it seems


6.Come Love Me

Lyricist:Rozell Manely Brown, Kristian Ottestad

The getaway eb a reba reb people
Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me
(Watch out now)

I spoke to the deacon Jones
About the birds and the bees
I told him how much I adore ya
And how ya brought me to my knees

I said the seven seas, just a way of devotion
For ya love I would cross any ocean
The deacon said if it's for real
Your love is free to steal

It's gonna be a long time
Coming til hell freezes over
So baby, come love me
Come love me now
Baby, come love me, yeah

It's gonna be a long time
Coming till hell freezes over
So baby, come love me
Come love me now
Baby, come love me, yeah

Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me

I open the book of love and what did I find?
Nothing that made no sense to me
Until I learn to read between the lines

It ain't no crime to be fired up in the motion
It's your love, love potion
If we can make love legally
Make love to me tonight

It's gonna be a long time
Coming till hell freezes over
So baby, come love me
Baby, come love me now, baby, yeah

It's gonna be a long time
Coming till hell freezes over
So baby, come love me
Come love me now
Baby, come love me, yeah

Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me

Breaker, breaker, one, nine, mayday
It's the return of super DJ
Fully equipped microchips without the gateway

Down low, ready, explode on your airwaves
Go be panoramic from the bat cave
Rozelle hittin' every range on your octave
This is not an arcade

Keepin' the competition on they toes
Like a ballet
Getaway people bonk your head
Like a valet and sing on the back street

It's gonna be a long time
Coming til hell freezes over
So baby, come love me
Come love me now, baby, yeah

It's gonna be a long time
Coming till hell freezes over
So baby, come love me
Come love me now
Baby, come love me, yeah

Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me
Come love me, baby, come love me
...


7.Sleepwalkin'

Lyricist:Boots, Leroy

Lord, have mercy say
I'm walkin', I'm talkin', I'm walkin'
I'm alive, I'm alive, yeah
I'm walkin', I'm talkin', I'm walkin'

I wear the daylight like a suit that don't suit me
I feel the sun poundin' down on my shoulders
A grim reflection of my situation
This situation got hold on me

Get a grip, get a life
Get home, get a wife
Get a car with a radio in it
So get off my back, insomniacs
Let me be

'Cause I'm
Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive

Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive

I wear the moonlight like a silk tuxedo
I feel the stars, they are watching me
A bright reflection of my situation
This situation got a hold on me

Get a grip, get a life
Get a suit and a tie
Get a job with a uniform in it
So get off my back, insomniacs
Let me be

'Cause I'm
Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive

Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive, I'm alive

Deng Xiao Ping like a Chinese chicken
He liked to go chickin 'In de kitchen'
Where he used to hang out

So he can make a little chicken
For his little, little wife
So he he'd stay back and just to get some
He try to get some some so

'Cause I'm
Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive

Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive

Everybody said a whole lotta love
And a whole lotta lovin'
When I'm walking in my sleep again

A whole lotta love
And a whole lotta lovin'
When I'm sleepin' and not sleepin'

Walking in my sleep again
Talking in my sleep again
Walking in my sleep again
That's when I'm alive

That's when I'm alive
That's when I'm alive
That's when I'm alive
I'm alive


8.All About It

Lyricist:Boots, Leroy

I can't ride no skateboard to save my live
But it don't bother me, no
'Cause I got my own thing and I do it in my own time
Me and my crew don't bother you

Why do you bother with botherin' me too?
Why be cruel to your own kind, to your own kind
'Cause it's all about the his love
That makes you cool and popular
But who needs popular, yeah

Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
I'm about as 'bout it, 'bout it as anyone could ever be
So take a look at me

I ain't got no piercings to show for myself
'Cause my nipples are free to be whatever
They want to be without no pressure
Follow the leader

I don't care about your tribal connections
With your
(Lies about, came out of a little pattern)
(From one of your mothers old magazines, magazines)

'Cause it's all about being in the rat race
Following the rat race
That makes you cool and popular
But who needs popular

Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
I'm about as 'bout it, 'bout it as anyone could ever be
So take a look at me

Funny how gets in the way with every little
You try to look cool just to be down with the
Stick 'em up
'Cause it's all about the his love

That makes you cool and popular
But who needs popular
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby

Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby

Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby

Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
Don't you know I'm about it 'bout it, baby
