Outskirts Lyrics - French Kiss - Bob Welch

Last night red lights and sirens sound 

Nine miles on a back street gettin' out of town 

Out of touch going underground 

Look into the mirror, you can see 'em bearing down 

Long road winding, headlights in the dark 

Don't know where we're going but it can't be too far 

Ten G's three for you the rest I'll keep 

No clues no avenues, it's a perfect scheme 

Look out outskirts, hang a left at the hanging tree 

'Cause they say they're going to get you 

But they won't mess with me 

Long road burnin', you know you can't look back 

'Cause everywhere you're turning you can't escape the fact 

Yeah, they're getting closer now 

Step on it man, you know they're gaining ground 

Not afraid to die until right now 

I can almost feel them breathing, fear for me 

Last night murder 1 was in the air 

Johnny didn't mean to do it but he was really scared 

Outlaws runnin' hiding who knows where 

Next time you're on the outskirts, I'll be waiting there 

Long road a winding, headlights in the dark 

Long road returning like a knife in your heart 

I'm on the outskirts now
