I Got Away

lyrics

I almost ended my
young life today.
Banking a hard right
off of Georgia on to Hornby.
She signaled left but
kept going straight.
I just missed that head light
but I got away.

Looking left and looking right every fuckin time i see a light
never got a window never had a chance
never going to make it to that other lane


Yeah, I got away.

I almost ended my
young life today.
With a switch blade
and a bottle of whiskey.
But it's not my time.
It ain't over yet.
Where not going nowhere.
Wear your helmet.

Never again I never see anything in fuckin front of me.
Going really slow raking up my nose
never going to make it through another day .

Yeah, I got away.

Never again no never again looking back
can't see can't stay
saying the things but didn't want to know
let me left so i can make it to the other road

Away. Yeah, I got away.
