I took the ninety-nine to get away from you
And nobody in any of these other cars knows
Somebody pumped all the oxygen
Right out of the valley
And we've only got a couple days to live
Funny the feeling in my chest is just the same
You tie knots in my lungs too
I took the ninety-nine to get away from you
Everybody else leaves me full of holes
Step on the gas and blow past
Dirty bathrooms
We've only got a couple miles to go
Funny i won't remember the sun in this place
You knock open my eyes too
I took the ninety-nine to get away from you
The hills are alive and i'm not
Fighting the urge to hurry hurry home
I took the ninety-nine to get away from you
And here i am in your shadow again
