Headlights in my face, there's a roadblock up ahead,
I've been toolin' down to tooley, coming home just like I said,
Doin' 90 in a speed trap, they won't catch me from behind,
I've been drivin' myself crazy, big wheel makin' up time.
Chorus 1
Like a thief in the night, there's no turnin' back,
Runnin' down the highway, you know I'm ahead of the pack,
Like a man out on a stakeout, veering 'til the bor . . der . . .
Well I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.
verse 2
Pavement screams, beneath my tires, like there's some fool to tell,
Callin' on the squad cars, lies at the set of the Golden L,
Ranger said pull over, fat chance, I'm at the wheel,
The night is crisp you can see their fist, everybody's after me.
Like a thief in the night, there's no turnin' back,
Runnin' down the highway, you know I'm ahead of the pack,
Like a man out on a stakeout, veering 'til the bor . . der . . .
I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.
Outro
I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.
I'm a runnin' the road blocks to get back home to you.
