Why keep hanging round
This two-bit, one-horse town
No one likes us here
They made that, oh, so clear

This town is narrow minded
The people here are blinded by hate
They won't meet you in the middle
And we found out a little too late
So don't wait

So, son
We gotta cut out and run
We gotta get out of Dodge
And beat the setting sun
Now it's been fun
But it's over and done
We gotta get out of Dodge
Before the sheriff comes


Most folks think that I'm
Living some life of crime
But I did nothing wrong
So I'll keep singing my own sweet song

Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo, dee-dee-dee-dum
Doo-doo, doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo, doo, dee-dee-dee
Dum-dee-dum, dum
Dum-dee-dum, dum


So, son (listen, son)
We gotta cut out and run (we gotta run)
We gotta get out of Dodge
And beat the setting sun
Now it's been fun (it's been fun)
But it's over and done (over and done)
We gotta get out of Dodge (get out of Dodge)
Before the sheriff comes (we gotta run)
Let's get up out right now

This town is narrow minded
The people here are blinded by hate
But they won't admit it
So why don't we forget it?
We can't chase this fate
We got enough on our plate


So, son (listen, son)
We gotta cut out and run (we gotta run)
We gotta get out of Dodge (get out of Dodge)
And beat the setting sun (we gotta run)
Now it's been fun (it's been fun)
But it's over and done (over and done)
We gotta get out of Dodge (get out of Dodge)
Before the sheriff comes (we gotta run)
We gotta get out of Dodge


While we still can, get out of Dodge
While we still can, get out of Dodge
While we still can, get out of Dodge
While we still can, get out of Dodge
While we still can, get out of Dodge
While we still can, get out of Dodge, yeah
While we still can, get out of Dodge
While we still can, get out of Dodge, yeah
