"Somewhere They Can't Find Me" lyrics

Somewhere They Can't Find Me

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
