Burned Out Car

Here are the lyrics to “Burned Out Car” which is on RCR’s EP:

I’m tired of workin’ my hands to the bone, waitin around to die. So let’s jump in the car, head out west don’t stop before the state line. I got a loaded shotgun hidden beneath the seat and I got whole box of shells in the back. I got rum and whisky that I stole from your sister and a whole case of cheap red wine.

Chorus: 

And we’ll sleep by the side of the road in an old burned out car full of leaves. Make love in the moonlight like angels and thieves and I ain’t coming home till spring.

got a switchblade in my pocket and hate in my chest but I’ll probably kill noone but myself. There’s a forty watt bulb that won’t let me rest, since I crawled from underneath of your place. I got liquor on my breath and blood on my hands and I fear nothing but my own face.

Chorus

If we leave tonight we’ll hit Missouri by ten, be somewhere in Texas by noon. I’m anxious and drunk, disheveled by luck and I fear nothin’ except you. We’ll meet a Mexican whore in La Crucias Azore and help a prisoner escape his fate. We’ll camp in Montana and sleep by the Bay, and I don’t care if I see L.A.

Chorus
