Get Out of Denver

I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining

My '60 Cadillac was rolling through Nebraska whining

Doin' a hundred twenty, man, the fields was bending over

Headin' out for the mountains knowing we was traveling further

All our fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning, turning

Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning, burning

Up walked a Baptist preaching southern funky school teacher

She had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her

We told her that we needed something that would keep us going

She put out all she had and laid it on the counter showing

All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up

The cops came busting in and man we lit out in a pickup truck and go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

'Cause you look just like a commie and you might just be a member, baby

Get out of Denver, baby

Get out of Denver

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screamin', screamin'

We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreamin'

Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour

It only started drizzling then it turned into a thundershower

The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber

We kept on driving 'til we ran into some fog cover

We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going

We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning

Fog finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at

We were staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat and go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

'Cause you look just like a commie and you might just be a member, baby

Get out of Denver, baby

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

Get out of Denver, baby, go

'Cause you look just like a commie and you might just be a member, baby

Get out of Denver, baby, go
