Hello highway, take me home to Lafayette

I gotta get away, let's just leave it at that

It's safe to say that I'm on the way, that I'll never find you now

For the wrong that I done, the wrongs that I done



Goodbye penitentiary, with all due respect to your authority

But they shoulda though twice before putting me in minimum security

It's safe to say that I'm getting away, they'll never catch me now

For the wrongs that I done



Hello countryside, scenery is so wide and so vast

But I can't appreciate you much, you know, I've been driving much too fast

It's safe to say the end is on its way, I can see them coming now

For the wrong that I done, the wrongs that I done
