Lyrics:
Joe made a break for the cigarette states
Caught an APB from the Five-Oh
Midnight ride 'cross the Tennessee line
Makin' deadman time on the side roads
Clean livin and wholesome women
Were nothin but a jailyard dream
Old men livin to die in prison
With nothin but their memories
Joe went away for a federal stay
When the wrong man led with a right hook
Judge said "life, but you're getting off light
'Cause it's eye for an eye in the good book"
Clean livin and wholesome women
Were nothing but a schoolyard laugh
Young men trying to outrun dying
Never once looking back
Joe broke out 'fore the sunrise count
He was eight miles out when the bell rang
Shed ten years worth of held-in tears
He was free in the hands of the road
Joe hit the brakes in the cigarette states
Got a brand new name in the blue ridge
Keeps one eye on the Tennessee line
For the cold blue lights and the sirens
Clean livin and wholesome women
Were nothing but a jailyard dream
Old men livin to die in prison
With nothin but their memories
