Dan Takes Five Lyrics

Stuffed my heart in a bag slammed the back door
If I get home it'd be a home no more
Took off runnin' in the middle of the night
I was aimed for anything that felt half right
Look out baby I'm gone a little ride
I see my name written on the center line
Moon looks good air is cool
Every bone been broken in the golden rule

Well I'm flyin' through Dothan with radio
Taylor's ole time opry's playin' hank snow
Sing's my nightmares in his song
I say I'm with ya man I'm just movin' on
Look out baby your wish came true
You got your freedom the house and the whole canoe
I got the things that I need
I took the car, my pride and three pairs of jeans

My brain is bleedin' got nails in my spine
But I ain't gonna stop for that empty line
Radio's fadin' road's like a snake
It's two in the mornin' and I'm wide awake
Look out baby gates of Eden got closed
But New Orlean's open see the pretty lights glow
I'm goin' in to get myself lost and found
It didn't take too goddamn long to tear a good thing down

It may not be ideal but at least we're not running at the mouth
I-10 to San Anton' woke up and went south
Fleeced at the border for thirty five and some change
But that's a small price to pay runnin' from the pain
Look out baby I'm gone a little ride
There's a brush fire on the highway gonna burn both sides
Wish I could throw our sins in the flame and smoke
I'll call you up if and when I reach hope

Gone a little ride
Baby I'm gone
I'm gone a little ride
Baby I'm gone
I'm gone a little ride
I'm gone gone gone
I'm gone a little ride
I'm gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone
Gone gone gone gone gone gone gone gone
And you can kiss it bye bye bye
