VERSE

LEFT A NOTE FOR MY BABY AT OUR SECRET RENDEVOUZ
IF HER DADDY READS IT THERE’S NO TELLIN’ WHAT HE MIGHT DO
TO ME….LORD HAVE MERCY
HE’S A SOUTHERN BAPTIST PREACHER MAN SHE’S A HOT BLOODED SOUTHERN BELLE
AND WE’RE FIXIN’ TO RUNAWAY HELL BENT TO RAISE SOME HELL
TONIGHT …AFTER CHURCH AT NINE
THE NOTE SAID “I’VE GOT A TANK FULL OF GAS
MEET ME UNDER THE OVERPASS

CHORUS

AND WE’LL DRIVE SOUTH IN A CLOUD OF DIXIE DUST
THE TIME IS NOW NO ONE OR NOTHIN’S STOPPIN’ US  
WE’LL CHASE THE MOON FOLLOW THE SUN LIKE EVERYDAY’S OUR LAST
MEET ME UNDER THE OVERPASS

VERSE

GOT THERE A LITTLE EARLY I COULD HEAR THE CHURCH BELLS RING
SUITCASE PACKED LOTS OF MONEY I’D THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING
COULDN’T WAIT….TO ESCAPE
STARTED TO GET NERVOUS WHAT’S KEEPIN’ HER SO LONG
IT’S GOIN’ ON NINE THIRTY-SEVEN I WAS HOPIN’ WE’D BE GONE
LONG GONE…..SOMETHING WAS WRONG
THEN I HEARD THE PREACHER CURSE AND SWEAR
AND I KNEW I DIDN’T HAVE A PRAYER

CHORUS

SO I DROVE SOUTH IN A CLOUD OF DIXIE DUST
THE TIME WAS NOW BUT OUR PLAN HAD JUST GONE BUST
WHEN HE READ THE NOTE I LEFT HER OUR DESTINY WAS CAST
HE MET ME UNDER THE OVERPASS
TAG:
GOTTA GET A MESSAGE TO HER TOMORROW I’LL SNEAK BACK
MEET ME UNDER THE OVERPASS
