5 A.M. in the mornin'
Whiskey still runnin' through my head
I could get out of bed and maybe
I'll just have another cigaretteAs long as I can remember
Seems all Ive ever done is work
The boss is a jerk and I ain't payin' the rent
Spent my whole life shovelin' dirtI'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Can't take this anymore
Gonna go downtown, pick up my girl
There ain't nothin' worth waitin' forTake the road less traveled
Spend my life behind the wheel
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Freedom made out of steelThere's a knock on the door from the sheriff
Askin' me where I was last night
Seems somebody lookin' a lot like me
Had takin' up with his wifeHe said "Son, if I ever catch him
There's gonna be some hell to pay
Hell be gone for good if I see him again
'Cause I just might blow him awayI'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Can't take this anymore
Gonna go downtown, pick up my girl
There ain't nothin' worth waitin' forTake the road less traveled
Spend my life behind the wheel
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Freedom made out of steelWhat's a poor man supposed to do
Stuck in the middle and trapped by the blues
Oh, baby, I'm sick of these bluesI'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Can't take this anymore
Gonna go downtown pick up my girl
There ain't nothin' worth waitin' forWell, I don't care if I'm wrong or right
Gotta split this town tonight
Gonna get outta hell in my dodge
Live my life behind the wheelI'm gonna get outta hell in my dodge
My freedom made out of steel
