"Getaway Car" is the title of a song written by songwriters Gary Haase and Billy Mann. The song was first recorded in 1999 by Susan Ashton, an American country and Christian singer, on her album Closer,[1] although it was not released as a single.
Since then, the song has been recorded by the country groups 4 Runner and The Jenkins, R&B group Dakota Moon, as well as the rock duo Hall & Oates. Both The Jenkins and Hall & Oates released their renditions as singles. Hall & Oates released their version in late 2003 as the fifth and final single from their 2002 album Do It for Love, reaching #21 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks charts with it.
In 2004, The Jenkins released their rendition as the second and final single from their self-titled debut album. This rendition reached a peak of #38 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts in August 2004, becoming the Jenkins' final chart single.
