Ray Fulcher Way Out
[Verse 1]
There's a two-lane in, no good way out
Of a no dot, cotton field, touchdown, Jesus town
With that white board, two-story porch wraparound
Way out
Where granddaddy came back in ‘38
For a concrete job, a couple bucks at the bank
And found a piece of land on some dark red clay
Way out
[Chorus]
Where we get way out
Head it off the highway, straight out
Where a back road runs a Texaco tank out
Grew up rearview dusting it
Halfway cussing it
Covered in mud in it
Way out
Where the stars get you a second-base make out
Where the lightning in a Mason gets drank out
Thеn the second you leavе in that 150
You wonder why you'd ever want a way out
[Verse 2]
You oughta see that sunset, hear the choir loft sing
Feel that momma's house, mid-June fescue under your feet
Yeah, that greener shade of green
Way out
Kids run through the sprinklers, dream of being Springsteen
Can't help but get into everything
They raise a little too much hell
Spend a few hours in a cell
Daddy comes to the city jail
Makes bail and pays their
[Chorus]
Way out
Head it off the highway, straight out
Where a back road runs a Texaco tank out
Grew up rearview dusting it
Halfway cussing it
Covered in mud in it
Way out
Where the stars get you a second-base make out
Where the lightning in a Mason gets drank out
Then the second you leave in that 150
You wonder why you'd ever want a way out
Why would I ever want a way out
[Bridge]
There's no place like home
When it's my time to go
All an ol' boy can hope
Is that they lay me down underneath an old white oak
[Chorus]
Somewhere way out
Head it off the highway, straight out
Where a back road runs a Texaco tank out
Grew up rearview dusting it
Halfway cussing it
Covered in mud in it
Way out
Where the stars get you a second-base make out
Where the lightning in a Mason gets drank out
Then the second you leave in that 150
You wonder why you'd ever want a way out
Yeah, why would I ever want a way out
Yeah
