Momma and Daddy were fightin'
So she runs out through the yard
To that rusty, old Ford Fairlane
That they left behind the barn
She counldn't reach the pedals
But she'd dream behind the wheel
The she and Mr. Bear were on an adventure
In their brand new automobile

Had a crack in the windshield and one headlight
And a grey primered fender on the driver's side
You'd never imagine it could take her that far
But she'd steal away in her getaway car

Daddy didn't come home drinking
On the day she turned sixteen
'Cause he bought four second hand tires
And a brand new battery
And it started on the first try
So they drove it through the field
And in the still of the night
She pulled out of the drive
Thinkin' this is how leaving feels

Had a crack in the windshield and one headlight
And a grey primered fender on the driver's side
You'd never imagine it could take her that far
But she'd steal away in her getaway car

She settled in Seattle
Thought she'd found her Mr. Right
But it wasn't 'till they married
That she saw his other side
But she wouldn't take the heartache
That her momma chose to hide
Didn't know where she'd go
But her way out
Was waiting right outside

Had a crack in the windshield and one headlight
And a grey primered fender on the driver's side
You'd never imagine it could take her that far
But she'd steal away in her getaway car
She's leaving today in her getaway car
