I can hear the soft breathing
of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me
asleep with the night
Her hair in a fine mist floats
on my pillow
Reflecting the glow of the
winter moonlight
But I've got to creep down the
alley way
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me
I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me.
Oh baby you don't know what
I've done
I've committed a crime
I've broken the law
While you were here sleeping
and just dreaming of me
I held up and robbed
a liquor store
But I've got to creep down the
alley way
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me
I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me
Oh my life seems unreal
my crime an illusion
A scene badly written in which
I must play
And thought it puts me up tight
to leave you I know
it's not right to leave you
When morning is just
a few hours away
But I've got to creep down the
alley way
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me
I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me
