"Wait For Me" Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I broke out of jail on a dark and rainy day
The warden in my way, oh Lord, I'll make them pay
I got me a gun, stole a police car
Broke right through the gates, pedal to the floor

[Bridge 1]
Away, away, on the way to my baby
Away, away, and I know, she will wait for me

[Refrain]
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil
Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me

[Verse 2]
In a hurry, on the flight
No place to run or hide
Robbed the bank was hard up for cash
Got myself some cocaine and hash
The whole night I felt sick and ill
Too much drugs, booze, too much pills
But I decided not to die
Cheat the devil with my evil eye

[Bridge 1]

[Refrain]

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Crash the car into a gas station
Let this motherfucker burn
Jump through the plains, shouting out my baby's name
Got myself into trouble, but I won't give in
Smashed a church door, menaced the priest to take away my sins

[Bridge 2]
Away, away - I will pray
Say, it will be the devil who will wait for me

[Refrain]
(2x)
Away, yeah
It's a race with the devil
The game I play, for good or for evil

Gotta follow my way, the way to my baby
Away, away - on the way to my baby
Away, away - and I know she will wait for me

[Outro](2x)
And I know she will wait for me
