lyrics

I wouldn't say what we did was criminal
even if it was against the law
those boats were there just for the taking and
it was not breaking in
so much as setting something free

and if we break the lock then we can get the oars
once we're round the bend
they'll never see us from the shore

and it is easier than we first thought
nobody gets hurt, nobody gets caught
we never even had to make a getaway
and there's no regret the next day

then your father taught you to drive his car
in case you were called upon
to have to rush him to the hospital
we used that knowledge to our advantage
stole the keys again
snuck out when driving all night long
just remember the gas tank was half-full
when we get in we'll roll in with the lights off

nobody ever suspects someone like me
I don't fit small town assumptions
of what trouble should be
so when we get pulled over
you should put me in the driver's seat
I'm at the top of my class so
there'll be no questions they'll ask
