I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love

As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night

And hair in a blind mist floats on my pillowReflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

But I′ve got to creep down the alleyway

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone

Somewhere they can′t find me

Oh, baby, you don't know what I've done

I′ve committed a crime, I′ve broken the law

While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me

I held up and robbed a liquor store

But I've got to creep down the alleyway

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I′ll be gone

Somewhere they can't find me

Oh, my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion

A scene badly written in which I must play

And thought it puts me up tight to leave you

I know it′s not right to leave you

When morning is just a few hours away

But I've got to creep down the alleyway

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I′ll be gone

Somewhere they can't find me
