Throw the laundry in the backseat
Accelerate with your bare feet
Take this corner carefully
It's hard to corner when you can't see
That we're kicking up a cloud of dust
On a bird's eye view of us
I'll be damned if we're gonna rust
In a town I've never thought of much
Gotta throw and go
Gotta make new ground
Leave in a hush
Take what ain't nailed down
Don't trip the wire don't let the neighbors know
By the time the light hits we'll be so far gone
Throw and go
Alarm flashing twelve o'clock
Been that way since it powered off
Gotta make up for the time I lost
Turn up the volume take it up a notch
Maybe take a new approach
Adjust to a lighter load
We're in the clear the mirror shows
By staying off the paved road
Gotta throw and go
Gotta make new ground
Leave in a hush
Take what ain't nailed down
Don't trip the wire don't let the neighbors know
By the time the light hits we'll be so far gone
Throw and go
Rumor says they're heading down
I guess we've been ratted out
They think they've got us made
We've already got away
If we throw and go
Make new ground
Leave in a hush
Take what ain't nailed down
Don't trip the wire don't let the neighbors know
By the time the light hits we'll be so far gone
Throw and go
Throw and go
