[PART ONE]
2
Kickin' stones down by the gypsy shacks
3
Along the wrong side of the tracks
4
Steppin' over all the cracks
5
Cross my fingers too
6
Wishing on that lucky day
7
When I finally make my getaway
8
Won't be nothing left to say (no no)
9
Only one thing left to do
10
Just run through the valleys
11
And down through the woods
12
Out in the alleys
13
Past the old neighborhoods
14
(And I know I got) so far to travel
15
And the hour is late
16
But it's out of the darkness
17
When I make my great escape
18
When I make my great escape
19
[PART TWO]
20
He's travellin' down the road tonight
21
His heart is heavy but his load is light
22
He fakes to the left but he moves to the right
23
On a lonely road tonight
24
He moves to the right
25
And he drops a penny into a wishing well
26
Nobody hears him as far as he can tell
27
He sees a thousand other wishes lying there
28
And he rightly wonders if the gods will care
29
If the gods are gonna care
30
So he runs through the valleys
31
And on through the woods
32
Down in the alleys
33
Past the old neighborhoods
34
(And he's got) so far to travel
35
And the hour is late
36
But it's out of the darkness
37
When he makes his great escape
38
When he makes his great escape
39
When he makes his great escape
