If that gun is for real, Im in trouble
Were not gonna make it, and Im caught
Its no use to make appeal
I wheel and I deal
Now Im down on my offers, help me, lord
Ive been been running for the whole of my young life
I keep taking and I never pay
Its the good old honest trust
You cant see me for the dust
Ill walk before your get-away
Get-away, get-away
Gone before your get-away
Though it gets rough
Gonna take off in a huff
Im the golden wonder boy, Ill get away
If a thing is worth having, its worth stealing
Ifn I get in, I get out quick
Say goodbye to your hello
You go easy and slow
On some greyhound I may come [to your? ] city
Get-away, get-away
Gone before your get-away
Though it gets rough,
Gonna take off in a huff
Im the golden wonder boy, Ill get away
Going, going once, going, going twice
Going on three times, sold to the devil for a short, sweet lie
If that gun is for real, Im in trouble
[? ] make it, and Im caught
Its no use to make appeal
I wheel and I deal
Now Im down on my offers, help me, lord
Get-away, get-away
Gone before your get-away
Though it gets rough
I just take off in a huff
Im the golden wonder boy, Ill get away
Get away, get away
What if I would get away
Though it gets rough
Gonna take off in a huff
Im the golden wonder boy, Ill get away
Get away, get away
Help me, lord, please, to get away
Get away, get away
Im gonna, gonna take this golden wonder boy
And get away, get away
Help me, lord, please
