Songtext von Escape

Mama always said Jesus was her husband And the only thing she needs She'd turn up Billy Graham so loud that I couldn't sleep And my daddy always smelled like smoke But I was sixteen before I knew what kind When my older sister was in college She met a piece of shit named Phil She didn't know that heroine always starts with pills And my brother thinks he's better 'Cause his kryptonite comes in a twelve-pack Everybody's got a place where all their money goes Everybody's got a high that sweetens up the lows Getting out of bed is hard if you don't have a reason Everybody needs an escape, and mine was leaving I always thought it sounded nice To be proud of your hometown But mine was never quite the kind You write country songs about And I heard apples don't fall far from family trees So I taught myself to fly Everybody's got a place where all their money goes Everybody's got a high that sweetens up the lows Getting out of bed is hard if you don't have a reason Everybody needs an escape, and mine was leaving When I met you, I hadn't really eaten in three days I'm sure I was hungry, but it was love I really craved You told me that you saved me And I thanked God you came and helped But you were just another way of hurting myself Everybody's got a star where all their wishes go And if those stars ain't lucky, then you've gotta hang your own Getting out of bed is hard if you don't have a reason Everybody needs an escape, and mine was leaving Oh, everybody needs an escape
