"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. This album produced three singles for the group in its title track, as well as in "Forrest County Line" and "Ragged Angel".

"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. Crittenden is, however, featured on the final track, a demo version of Diamond Rio's 1994 single "Love a Little Stronger" (which he also co-wrote). This demo was recorded by the original members of 4 Runner in 1994, while Diamond Rio's version can be found on their 1994 album "Love a Little Stronger".

The album's title track (and lead-off single) has been recorded by several other artists: Susan Ashton on her 1999 album "Closer",cite web |url=http://www.epinions.com/content_3405422724 |title=4Runner: the return of country 4 part harmony |accessdate=2008-06-07 |date=2003-07-21 |work=Epinions.com] 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. Besides the title track, "Forrest County Line" and "Ragged Angel" were released from this album as well, although of the three singles, "Forrest County Line" was the only one to chart.

"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. 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.
