Getaway Car is a studio album by American country music group 4 Runner, released in 2003 on the independent Fresh label. It was the group's third studio album to be recorded, but only the second to be released, as their second album (1996's One for the Ages) was not released due to the closure of A&M Records, their label at the time. The lead-off single to Getaway Car was the song "Forrest County Line", which peaked at #59 on the Hot Country Songs charts.

Getaway Car features three of the founding members of 4 Runner: bass Jim Chapman, tenor Lee Hilliard, and lead vocalist Craig Morris, as well as baritone Michael Lusk, who replaced Billy Crittenden.[1] Crittenden is, however, featured on the final track, a demo version of Diamond Rio's 1994 single "Love a Little Stronger". This demo was recorded by the original members of 4 Runner recorded in 1994.[1] Crittenden also co-wrote this song, which is featured on Diamond Rio's Love a Little Stronger album.
The album's title track has been recorded by several other artists: Susan Ashton on her 1999 album Closer,[1] Dakota Moon on their 2002 album A Place to Land, The Jenkins on their 2004 self-titled debut album, and Hall & Oates on their 2004 album Do It for Love. Both The Jenkins and Hall & Oates released their renditions as singles.
"God, Family and Country" was previously cut (and co-written) by Craig Morgan on his 2003 album I Love It, from which it was released as a single;[1] 4 Runner provided backing vocals on his version as well. "Shower the People" is a cover of a James Taylor song, originally found on his 1976 album In the Pocket. Finally, "The House at the End of The Road" is a re-recording of a song which 4 Runner originally released on their self-titled debut album in 1995.[1]
