Take You Away

You took my photo this morning
Pushed off my hair in the way
Prohibited smile, wasting' awhile
While plotting my get away

My papers, I gave to the lady
Every credit and debt to my name
Sign on the line, this number of mine
It is lost but four wheels I gain

I wanna ride, babe, I’ll save you from the ranks
Meet me outside, I’ll take you away
Take you away

I stand in this line for permission
With a mother, a child, a friend
I don’t wanna meet em, the gas-powered freedom
Is all I want to begin

You told me your father was gone
And your mama was out for the day
I got money aside, one thought to abide
And I’ll help you slip away

I wanna ride, babe, I’ll save you from the ranks
Meet me outside, I’ll take you away
Take you away, take you away

Gas up the Scout and we’ll make it on out
Let’s see what the caffeine can do
Harvest our fears while we plan for the years
And wake up somewhere new

I wanna ride, babe, I’ll save you from the ranks
Meet me outside, I’ll take you away
Take you away
Take you away
I’ll take you away
