[Verse 1]
I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
As she lies here beside me asleep with the night
Her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
Reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight
[Chorus]
But I've got to creep down the alleyway
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me
[Verse 2]
Oh, baby, you don't know what I've done
I've committed a crime, I've broken the law
While you were here sleeping and just dreaming of me
I held up and robbed a liquor store
[Chorus]
But I've got to creep down the alleyway
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me
[Verse 3]
Oh, my life seems unreal, my crime an illusion
A scene badly written in which I must play
And though it puts me up tight to leave you
I know it's not right to leave you
When morning is just a few hours away
[Chorus]
But I've got to creep down the alleyway
Fly down the highway
Before they come to catch me I'll be gone
Somewhere they can't find me
