drivin up the cost to find a version of the [bad word] 
left the backdoor swinging like a dirty little sleuth 

the [bad word] is I have never felt half this alive 
now it's time to dance upon the grave called 45 

jacked upon some Kerouac and surely bullet proof 
the girl who taught me what to do was missing her front tooth 

gentle as a storm inside your mental health 
I wanna find the answer but I just can't find myself 

I say so long to the way I played 
the way I played inside of yesterday 
hey [bad word] around 
the great escape from out of my hometown 

later I would look for love inside a woman's dorm 
a couch to keep me humble and her breath to keep me warm 

Ophelia was the girl that I was feeling for [bad word] to realize it was me who was the [bad word] 

a captain lost himself inside a 40 year old skull 
the drink of choise was knowledge and we always wanted more 
 [bad word] sailors seeking their Geronimo 
instead they found the things that they really didn't wanna know 

I say so long to the way I played 
the way I played inside of yesterday 
hey [bad word] around 
the great escape from out of my hometown 

country roads would never let me stay 
the way I played inside of yesterday 

a devil's growl and a cat's meow were blended into one 
termites called suburbanites were eating all the fun 

a juggernaut [bad word] and blasphemy 
I wanna stop the madness but I think it has to be 

I say so long to the way I played 
the way I played inside of yesterday 
hey [bad word] around 
the great escape from out of my hometown 

country roads would never let me stay 
the way I played inside of yesterday 
hey [bad word] around 
the great escape from out of my hometown
