Stan Ridgeway - Wake Up Sally lyrics

rate me

Spoken:

Okay, now, try to stay quiet.

Chorus:

Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here

And they keep knockin' at the door

Flashlights shinin' through the window in front

Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor

Now, someone musta told 'em we were hidin' out here

I bet yer big dumb brother told a friend

Now we gotta make it out the back before

Just saw two more pullin' round the bend

Hey, I shoulda known better than to rob that bus

Just-a twelve bucks layin' in the tray

Now I hear the sheriff on the radio

We gotta crawl out back and get away

Chorus repeat

Now didja gas up the truck like I told you to?

No, we can't take the dog, he's gonna bark

We're outside, now, slide into neutral gear

We'll roll out the back driveway and then we'll start

Chorus repeat

Now, there's ten more troopers on the roundabout

Turn the corner, see a camera and a light

Now, Sally, keep the dog down or we'll be had

And then up on the television next Monday night

Wake up, Sally, we're in Kansas now

I'm gonna pull out this map while you steer

We might as well drive on to Idaho

Hey, there's some more police behind us,

Better hide the beer

Chorus repeat

Chorus:

Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here

So we'll just do what we did before

Crawl out back, get into that old truck

And slam that pedal

Keep the dog down

We gotta head south, gotta get outta town

And slam that pedal to the floor
