I feel it coming like a highball train

Baring down on the end of the line

I see the black clouds following me

Like they're tied to the hands of time.

I'm feeling meaner than an old bob cat

I got the hammer down and won't look back

My mind is headed down a one-way track

I'm leaving lonesome flats

I'm leaving lonesome flats.

I wish I had another day or two

But I don't have time to kill

You'll probably never see my face again

Once I make it across the hill (yeah)

I'm feeling meaner than an old bob cat

I got the hammer down and won't look back

My mind is headed down a one-way track

I'm leaving lonesome flats

I'm leaving lonesome flats.

(Ooh yeah)

I got to get away get away (oh)

I got to get away get away (yeah)

I got to get away get away (yeah)

(Woo hoo)

(Woohoo hoo... hoo)

I'm gonna have to burn the whole place down

If they try to throw the brick at me

I'm gonna run from the things I've done

Cause I'm guilty in the first degree (yeah)

I'm feeling meaner than an old bob cat

I got the hammer down and won't look back

My mind is headed down a one-way track

I'm leaving lonesome flats

I'm leaving lonesome flats (yeah)

I'm feeling meaner than an old bob cat

I got the hammer down and won't look back

My mind is headed down a one-way track

I'm leaving lonesome flats

I'm leaving lonesome flats (woo hoo)
