5 AM, Friday morning, Thursday night far from sleep
I'm still up and driving, can't go home obviously
So I'll just change direction, 'cause they'll soon know where I live
And I wanna live, got a full tank and some chips

It was me and a gun and a man on my back
And I sang 'Holy Holy' as he buttoned down his pants

You can laugh, it's kinda funny the things you think at times like these
Like I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

Yes, I wore a slinky red thing does that mean I should spread
For you, your friends, your father, Mr. Ed

It's me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

I know what this means, me and Jesus a few years back
Used to hang, and he said "it's your choice, babe, just remember
I don't think you'll be back in 3 days time, so you choose well"
Tell me what's right, is it my right to be on my stomach of Fred's Seville

It's me and a gun and a man on my back
But I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this

And do you know Carolina where the biscuits are soft and sweet
These things that go through your head when there's a man on your back
And you're pushed flat on your stomach, it's not a classic cadillac

It's me and a gun and a man on my back
And I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
I haven't seen Barbados so I must get out of this
