Sneak out the Back Door Songtext

von Ron Sexsmith

Well I never been good at goodbyes
I'm gonna sneak out the back door
Nobody can say that I didn't try
Gonna sneak out the back door
Let it ride, let the whole thing slide
Drift far from the shore
Don't wanna be missed
Didn't even exist
I'm gonna sneak out
Sneak out the back door

I got no small talk to speak of
Gonna sneak out the back door
There's a man here talking my ear off
I'm gonna sneak out the back door
To the night and the pale moonlight
I can't hide anymore
I'mo be on my way
Got nothing to say
I'm gonna sneak out
Sneak out the back door

I feel a pang of anxiety
At the society gathering
Gonna find me a corner
This "Little Jack Horner's" unraveling
Un-raaaaaaa-veling

And when my life is over
I'm gonna sneak out the back door
Before the mood turns sober
I'm gonna sneak out the back door
Hadn't much of a "Midas Touch"
No luck to be sure
Would you give my regards to the people in charge
While I sneak out
Sneak out the back door

Let it ride, let the whole thing slide
Drift far from the shore
Don't wanna be missed
Didn't even exist
I'm gonna sneak out
Sneak out the back door.
