The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I been out on the road and above in the air,
I'm a long way from home but I just don't care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.
'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.
I passed through New York just the other day,
The smog was bad but not as bad as L.A.
Sometimes I wonder what the world's comin' to.
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna' do.
CHORUS
'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.
I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah.
I been out on the road and above in the air,
I'm a long way from home but I just don't care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
CHORUS
'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah, yeah, yeah.
