Prius On The Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Eric had a grin like a barbed-wire fence Mario talked smooth from the bed of the bench They kept them little vials in a grocery sack Pushed past the noon like they couldn’t look back [Verse 2] County roads dirty, hands on the wheel Prius full of lies and a tank half-steel Four lanes wide with a prayer in the dark Front seat full of smoke and a beating heart [Pre-Chorus] One wrong exit, one wrong face One blue light cuts through the haze They keep on moving, jaw set tight Till the whole night hollers, “Pay the price” [Chorus] Switched four lanes in the Prius Switched four lanes and ran Eric and Mario Tryin’ to outrun the man Switched four lanes in the Prius On that busted, borrowed road (keep on rollin’) But trouble rides shotgun And trouble knows your name by smoke [Verse 3] By the feed store sign and the church on the hill Mario laughed like it was all just a thrill Eric kept staring at the rearview glare Like every mile put a noose in the air [Pre-Chorus] One more bend and the night might split One more lie and the truth won’t quit They keep on moving, jaw set tight Till the whole night hollers, “Pay the price” [Chorus] Switched four lanes in the Prius Switched four lanes and ran Eric and Mario Tryin’ to outrun the man Switched four lanes in the Prius On that busted, borrowed road (keep on rollin’) But trouble rides shotgun And trouble knows your name by smoke [Bridge] Now the pawn shop ring don’t shine the same And the backseat holds a ghost of shame One set of cuffs can cool that fire And leave two good fools in the county wire [Final Chorus] Switched four lanes in the Prius Switched four lanes and ran Eric and Mario Tryin’ to outrun the man Switched four lanes in the Prius But the night don’t let you go (keep on rollin’) When you sell your soul for fast cash You pay it back in dust and cold
