Yeah, oh, uh-huh
Well, I'm tired of the pressure, I'm tired of the pace
I just wanna grab you, baby, I wanna get out of this place
I got no chance of making it, working downtown
Where they're walking slow and talking low, I'm tired of going down, down
Start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, and it ain't no groove
It's been a long, hard road
Come on baby, let's drive it home

Well, it started out as paradise, but it ain't no promised land
And this ain't no kind of living for an honest working man
You know there's people dying in the street, but they sure don't make the news
While others living up on the hill are singing the white boy's blues
Whoa yeah, start the car, we've gotta move
This ain't no living, this ain't no groove
You see, the rich, they die poor
There's somewhere waiting with something more

We're going out with dignity, we're going out with style
I'm gonna lay down that hammer baby, make our own rules tonight
'Cause I can't take this town no more, baby
Whoa, start the car, we gotta move
This ain't no living, no it ain't no groove
It's been a long and hard road
Come on baby, let's drive it home
Start the car, we gotta move
It ain't no living, and it ain't no groove
You know the rich die poor

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
