when i'm away i think of you and how you were an ought
to be and theres one thing i got to do get back to you
to be free to be me (chorus:) cause any time i don't
like it i keep a door way in my mind when i want to be
with you i just walk through gate 49 it get's me down
it makes me sick to be somewhere i hate to be so i'll
escape i'll take a trip i'll fly so high to be free to
be me (chorus) just for a time no miles away i can't
put up with what must be and prety soon i'll have to
take my walk way out to be free to be me i may be
tired of life it self but here comes me i like it
somewhere else when i'm away i thnk of you and how you
were an ought to be and theres one thing i got to do
get back to you to be free to be me where i'm mine
just behind gate 49
