The Jayhawks - Leaving the Monsters Behind

Leaving the monsters behind
Sticking it out
Never knowing what you got

Bury me down by the river lazy
Kicking around
All the old favorite haunts

I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Seems there's no place to hide

One step ahead of the hustle
If I move fast
Maybe i'll outrun my past
With a little spit and some muscle
Like steve mcqueen
Tearing down the San Francisco streets

I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Seems there's no place to hide

Hearing the brakes down on the interstate
Diesel fumes and run-down motel rooms

Moccasin soft drawing straws
Sleeping it off in the Starbuck's parking lot

I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
I don't want to fight
Giving it up
Screaming at midnight
