Late night on a back road and my ride had broken down
I see a light off in the distance a long long way from town
Half a mile later Im knockin on the door
She answered in her cut offs and my jaw just hit the floor
She said you look so cold, why not come inside?
I think I just struck gold
(Chorus)
No way out, a voice in my head said you shouldve known better
No way out, its too good to believe
No way out, when morning came I wish I never wouldve met her
Now here comes daddy with a gun in hand
And I dont think hes gonna understand
I take off through the front yard hear em pump that ole 12 gauge
She says daddy dont you shoot him, but dont let him get away
I run into the sheriff, hallelujah Ive been saved, he says:
Where you think youre goin son, we got plans for you today
She said get on your knees - think Im in trouble now
Youre gonna marry me - Ive gotta get away somehow
Cant go off in the night, cause poppas gun just might
(Chorus)
No way out, a voice in my head said you shouldve known better
No way out, I can never leave
No way out, help me Lord I wish I never wouldve met her
And daddys sitting with a gun in hand
He said The preachers comin just as fast as he can
No way out, a voice in my head said you shouldve known better
No way out, ooooh, I was no nave
No way out, help me Lord I wish I never wouldve met her
A lesson learned and it goes to show
Dont break down on an old back road
