The Milk Carton Kids – Getaway lyrics
[Verse 1]
The shatter of the bottles
Would scare me something awful as a kid
My fear how it would harden
And find a home in places that I hid

[Verse 2]
I'd tear 'em down
And run away
But never found my getaway

[Verse 3]
Outside Tuscaloosa
The time you thought you turned it all around
Remember how you used to think
You could salvage anything you found

[Verse 4]
You knew it then
You know it now
The rattle of chains
Still rattles loud

[Verse 5]
In all those years of moving
I was slowly losing all my names
No matter what I'd ruin
It couldn't hold a candle to the pain

[Verse 6]
My tears are real
And all my own
Pouring down there all alone

[Verse 7]
The soft roll of the water
Reminds me of my father's parting words
Son, now don't you bother
Looking for your place out in the world

[Verse 8]
The tide will roll
Through the waves
Son, you'll find your getaway
