Ah well he ha d not hing to lose
It was t ime t o cruise
And he got out of that place
He knew just what to do
And made every move
Without leaving a trace
He jumped o ver the fence
And hit the ground
Running as fas t as h e could
Without making a sound
His f eet were flying trough dirt and mud
Each step propelled by a rush of blood
And all he w anted to d o
After a ll these years inside
Was m ake it out alive
M ake it o ut a live
Wel l he' s been running away
Ever since the day
He dropped out of school
He never did what they
T old him he should
He just was no good
At fo llowing rules
But he lear ned how to get
What he wanted alright
By usi ng a g un and a switchblade knife
He'd start a fight and kill on a whim
And take y our life like it belonged to him
And he al ways tho ught
If he e ver did g et cau ght
He'd make i t out alive
M ake it o ut a live
Oh wh en th e cop s came around
They put him under arrest
But he couldn't care less
He didn't even blin k
When they threw him
Against the wall
He didn't think he did
Anything wrong at all
So they lo cked him up
And they put him away
But he knew t hat he was
Gonna escape one day
And s o he did
And ever since then
They t ried
But they never saw
His face again
/
Right now h e's bu mming around
In a s mall town
Down in M exico
And every day he
Tells himself he's free
But he doesn't feel it though
He still f alls asleep
With just one eye closed
Looking o ver h is shoulder
Wherever he goes
He's go t a boat
And a house on the beach
But he h asn't lived
One day in peace
Cause you go tta do much more
Than just surv ive
To m ake i t out alive
O h make it o ut a live
O h make it o ut a live
O h make it o ut a live
M ake i t out make it out ma ke it out a live
make it o ut al ive
