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

As she lies here beside me, asleep with the night

And her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow

Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight

But I've got to creep down the alley way

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 alley way

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 though it puts me uptight to leave you

I know it's not right to leave you

The morning is just a few hours away

But I've got to creep down the alley way

Fly down the highway

Before they come to catch me I'll be gone

Somewhere they can't find me
