Peter Lavender: Music
Get Outta Dodge
(Peter Lavender)
December, 2006
In this game of secrets and lies
The rug was pulled right from under our eyes
And how much more are we gonna take
Before it’s clear that we got to wake up
And admit that we’ve been had
Still it’s not the hand you hold
It’s knowin’ when to fold
And when to get the hell outta Dodge.
The whole damn thing is out of control
The daily news is taking its toll
And still you say there’s no cause for alarm
But all the talk is doing us harm.
We get the feeling we’ve been had
But the fight has just begun
So grab your hat and run
And let’s get the hell outta Dodge.
Like a lover on the rebound
Is not as willing to defend
We were hoping someone could be found
To help us on the mend.
We get the feeling we’ve been had
And there’s really little doubt
What this thing’s about
So let’s get the hell outta Dodge.
