Lyrics
GETTIN' OUTTA TOWN
Jump inside my car for a weekend getaway
All our work is done and now it's time for us to play
Gonna take a ride to a special place I know
Everybody's welcome, so hang on here we go
CHORUS
Gettin' outta town, I wanna get away
Have a little fun, take a little holiday
Gettin outta' town, forget about the week
Lookin forward to the weekend
To bring us some relief
Rollin with my friends as we leave the world behind
Sit back and relax a while, it's time to clear your mind
Workin' like a dog, now we all could use a break
Headed for the fast lane, we're makin' our escape
CHORUS
Thinkin' of tonight and the crazy things we'll do
Don't have long to wait no, no, no we're gonna be there soon
Lookin' up ahead I will find my destiny
Over the horizon, a good time waits, I just can't wait
A good time waits for me
CHORUS
