The Getaway

Verse 1

that's it man, they got me

caught up in a damned traffic jam,

block me

everything except my passion is spent,

I got no baggage,

aint dragging no maps, no plans, follow?

how did I end up here, really?

just trying to keep my head up

damn I'm weary

so is it all a setup then,

is it?

this aint living,

wishing the man upstairs would listen

I got to get away type quick see a better day and

celebrate all life is now

the world is spinning,

this life is mine

as I'm burning bridges they light the skies it's time

to follow my heart, use to follow the bottle now me and

God go mano a mano, I got to go before my soul is

hollow, I got to follow my dreams

every artery screaming:

I got to be free

they said I need to think,

didn't have no thoughts

said I need a shrink,

cus my balance is off

they said my ship's gonna sink

cus my cash's all gone

that's when I feel like a drink but every glass' too

short so there I go,

get on a plane or a train and everything I ever feared

imma face it today and that's for sure,

so if they mention my name

thinking I'm dead or insane, tell them that Red's okay

he had to go.

Chorus

So come sunshine or come rain

Imma jump on a plane or a train

cus I feel my fire fading away

I can't, I can't, I can't stay

So come sunshine or come rain

Imma jump on a plane or a train

cus I feel my fire fading away

oh no, I got to get away,

away, away, away, away, away, away, away

got to get away

Verse 2

My feet greet sand, snow,

gravel and asphalt

you mad wrong thinking

that I'm singing a sad song

I'm on track

rap's in my backbone

I backpack back to back,

travel the map mode

the fast lane, fast life,

more like a bad joke

we're past last call,

only dust on the dance floor

I'm chilling to hell with living in fast forward so if

they knock on my door

just tell them the man's gone

so aint that the truth I'm out the backdoor before I

act a fool

today's my first day and last too

escape the bad fumes

and dodge my pasts gloom

stay on the move I only stop to pray

cus I know they got the yay a block away

but every time I get a chance to rock the stage

I feel free, it's like I already got away,

I'm on my way.

Chorus

So come sunshine or come rain

Imma jump on a plane or a train

cus I feel my fire fading away

I can't, I can't, I can't stay

So come sunshine or come rain

Imma jump on a plane or a train

cus I feel my fire fading away

oh no, I got to get away,

away, away, away away, away, away, away

got to get away
