How Did You Get Away from Me Lyrics
(Johnny Cash, June & Anita Carter)
Oh, I hated what you made
You're runnin', jumpin' like you're filled with glee
Oh, I told you that I'd hold you
Just, how did you get away from me
I had bars on the window
Have been chained to the floor
And a moss-covered monster at the door
(Wealthy qualm but I eat all)
Had a bottomless moat with a whole in the boat
And a pit-grabbin' snake if you try to make a break
Had a swarm of bees up the willows, in the trees
Just, how did you get away from me
(Shall I die if I try)
-Solo-
Oh where did you get the things to get through the electric strings
Your hand cuts them gone, you're runnin' free
What happened to my snapper with his hard-powered grab
Just, how did you get away from me
Is it true that it's you, did you really make it through
How about the tiger in the car
(And the van, might you plan it in the jar, in the car)
Did you go like a moth through a hole
Or did you sail like a quail on the pole
Is it through the news on TV
(So I can see)
Oh, how did you get away from me
(You said, I die if I try)
Oh, how did you get away from me
