Black car at a red light

A brunette at a bar

Black keys on the jukebox

I wonder where you are

Can't catch a break, can't get away

'Round here on a Friday night

Tryin' to outrun your memory's like

Tryin' to outrun blue lights

Goin' eighty through a speed trap, cold beer in a console

Chevrolet two-tone ain't gonna ditch a Crown Vic

Even if you lost 'em, they'd be callin' APB on the radio

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

Tryin' to outrun your memory's like

Tryin' to outrun blue lights

It's like tryin' to outrun blue lights

I taste your kiss in the whiskey

I feel your touch in the rain

I hear your voice when the wind blows

You're always sayin' my name

Can't put enough miles between

You and me and these county lines

Tryin' to outrun your memory's like

Tryin' to outrun blue lights

Goin' eighty through a speed trap, cold beer in a console

Chevrolet two-tone ain't gonna ditch a Crown Vic

Even if you lost 'em, they'd be callin' APB on the radio

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

Tryin' to outrun your memory's like

Tryin' to outrun blue lights

It's like tryin' to outrun blue lights

I'd rather be in the back of a black-and-white

Starin' down two nights in the county jail

Get my picture made holdin' up my name

Have to call my dad to post my bail

Than have you in the rearview always closin' in

Here you come, here you come again

Tryin' to outrun blue lights

Goin' eighty through a speed trap, cold beer in a console

Chevrolet two-tone ain't gonna ditch a Crown Vic

Even if you lost 'em, they'd be callin' APB on the radio

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide

Tryin' to outrun your memory's like

Tryin' to outrun blue lights

It's like tryin' to outrun blue lights

It's like tryin' to outrun blue lights
