[Intro]
A      A      A       A
[Verse 1]
HeaAdlights in my face,  there's a rDoadblock up ahead,
I've been tAoolin' down to tooley,  coming hEome just like I said,
Doin' 9A0 in a speed trap,  they won't caDtch me from behind,
I've been drAivin' myself crazy,  bEig wheel makin' up tAime.A  
[Chorus 1]
Like a thDief in the night,  there's Ano turnin' back,
REunnin' down the highway,  you kAnow I'm ahead of the pack,
Like a mDan out on a stakeout,  vAeering 'til the bGor . . dFer . . .
Well I'm a rAunnin' the road blocks to gDet back hEome to yAou.
[Interlude]
A      D      A      E      A      D     A  E  A      A
[Verse 2]
PaAvement screams,  beneath my tires,  like thDere's some fool to tell,
CaAllin' on the squad cars,  lies at the sEet of the Golden L,
RaAnger said pull over,    fat chDance, I'm at the wheel,
The nAight is crisp you can see their fist,  eEverybody's after Ame.A  
[Chorus 2]
Like a thDief in the night,  there's Ano turnin' back,
REunnin' down the highway,  you kAnow I'm ahead of the pack,
Like a mDan out on a stakeout,  vAeering 'til the bGor . . dFer . . .
I'm a rAunnin' the road blocks to gDet back hEome to yAou.
[Outro]
I'm a rAunnin' the road blocks to gDet back hEome to yAou.
I'm a rAunnin' the road blocks to gDet back hEome to yAou.
