Текст песни: The Man Who Got Away + перевод

Last night I went to the Coronado

I bought my ticket and I found my seat

It was a new adventure straight from Hollywood

Lights went down as I felt the heat

They went tearing from the final scene

Burning rubber, spilling gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Every night for weeks and weeks now

I beat the traffic, I beat the heat now

For two hours I can believe

The man who got away was me

I went tearing from the final scene

Burning rubber, spilling gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Drove into Stockton, my radio went dead

That’s when I heard what the newsman said

Said: «armed robbery on the ten-hundred block

Was two men involved and one man shot

While his accomplice made the payday

With a .45 he blew the cashier away

Last seen headed on the State Highway

Driving a late model Chevrolet»

I went screaming from the final scene

In a hail of bullets and flaming gasoline

As the credits rolled away

They were still chasing

The man who got away

Man who got away

Man who got away

Man who got away
