I broke out of jail on a dark and rainy day
The warden in my way, oh Lord, I'll make them pay
I got me a gun, stole a police car
Broke right through the gates, pedal to the floor
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me
In a hurry, on the flight
No place to run or hide
Robbed the bank [?] for cash
Got myself some cocaine and hash
The whole [?] felt sick and ill
Too much drugs, booze, too much pills
But I decided not to die
Cheat the devil with my evil eye
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me
Crash the car into a gas station
Let this motherfucker burn
Jump through the plains, shouting out my baby's name
Got myself into trouble, but I won't give in
Smashed a church door, menaced the priest to take away my sins
Away, away - I will pray
Say, it will be the devil who will wait for me
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me
And I know she will wait for me
