Lyrics

Charleigh hit the road
in the red eye morning
with just her heart and no idea

Her head screwed off
and her hair on fire
when she slammed it into gear

As far as going, You know he had it coming
She caught her breath when the screen door slammed
Years of tears walkin' on eggshells
Sure Felt just like broken glass

Charleigh bit her lip as she gripped the wheel
Tears raging from her swollen eyes
Behold the road this lonely desperate rider
Chasing lights in the midnight sky

As far as livin' you know she had the wherewithal
She held her breath when the hammer fell
Years of tears trapped beneath the ice believin'
Can't sweat the devil in a frozen hell.

Coulda' been the headlights
Maybe it was the tears
Now she riding blind to her getaway
Fight or flight to thrive in the light of day
Charleigh riding blind to her getaway
Ooh Charleigh Get Away.....

Charleigh ditched her wheels
Caught a gray dog Southbound
Head resting on the frozen glass
Behold the road this lonely desperate rider
One way to somewhere from a nowhere past.

As far as going she knew the time was coming.
Heart beatin' up behind her eyes
Years and fears and never goin' back again
She found freedom was a thin disguise

Coulda' been the headlights
Maybe it was the tears
Now shes riding blind to her getaway
Fight or Flight to thrive in the light of day
Charleigh riding blind to her getaway
Ooh Charleigh Get Away.....
