about

song about robbing a bank (allegedly)

lyrics

I went to the dollar store short a nickel and dime
I went down to the old park bench when they threw me down the line
I thought I'd run a tab with my friend who runs the bar
All I've got's three quarters and ten pennies and my car

Gotta get away

I get paid in 2 days but I've squandered all I've made
If I can pay you back in 3 I'll pay you twice the rate
Bank takes all my money in 30 seconds flat
It takes them 3 damn days to get my money back

Gotta get away

I went to the corner store and saw my man behind the glass
he laid out a plan for me that would help us jump a class
said we're heading out of Philly, we'll be back before the sun
I know a bank where the cops won't come

Gotta get away

Pulled up to the parking lot there was no one left in town
looked like it'd all been empty since the sun went down
I made much more money than I could ever dream
We made it back to Philly before the church bells rang

Made a getaway

Went to old Montana with my car and my cash
Look for anybody who would take it fast
I died in old Montana and when I'm looking back
At that night outside of Philly I just start to laugh

Gotta get away
Made a getaway

about

Cranston Dean Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey

If you’ve never heard Cranston Dean perform before, you’re robbing yourself of an amazing experience. Dean’s voice takes you back to a time when the singer/songwriter played the bars of Asbury during the heydays of The Circuit, and blew people’s minds with their lyrical poetry.
