Mother earth looks at her closely
She looks at her baby and she sighs
The slight breathing pause that she takes
It builds her and makes her strong
She refuses to give her up
and we close our eyes
Her hands touch the round stomach
and feel the kick
The eyes that have seen so much
cry with the water
She starts to rinse her face
And refuses to give her up
And we close our eyes
And you close your eyesLadies and gentlemen it is my absolute pleasure to
introduce to you here tonight the Getaway People for you listening pleasure.
Six Pacs and bigmacs keep us rollin’ down the road
Cigarettes and coffee where ever we go
Learn to appreciate those simple little things
And open up my arms to what the road might bring
Cramped in a van
And we do the best we can
On a journey filled with tears and laughter
From the Jersey Turnpike we set sail
On the getaway rafter
People all around us, they shower us with love
You better keep it comin’, ‘cause we just can’t get enough
Where would we be without a little love
You cannot get by without a little love
Everybody needs a little bit o love sometime
x2
Now slip me a can
And I pour it in a glass
So we can share a little love and happiness
Don’t matter who you are or where you came from
‘cause if you’re down with the G, came get some
Crusin’ ‘round the country through every little town
You always find the coolest of people come around
Where would we be…x2
Six pacs and bigmacs…
Where would we be…x2
