Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm on my way, I got no time to waste Places to go, people to chase Gonna grab my comb and my toothpaste I gotta get away from here [Verse 2] Twenty-one years from the day I was born I was workin' on the night shift tootin' my horn Through sheets of rain, through sleet and storm You come to me [Chorus] You were the girl with the summer sunshine In your eyes and in your smile You were the one I thought loved me It was something I, I never could quite believe I gotta get away from here [Verse 3] I'm a real bad loser, that's what I am Gonna grab my hat and my hexagram You can stick my money in an old tin can I think I fell in love again [Verse 4] I was down by the bus stop bidin' my time I was hitchin' a ride with a friend of mine I was almost gone, I was over the line I said, "What's come over me?" [Chorus] You were the girl with the sound of springtime In your songs and in your voice You were the one I thought loved me It was something I, I never could quite believe I gotta get away from here I gotta get back to you [Verse 5] I'm gonna make it today, I'm gonna get on my toes Been awake so long I'm getting ready to doze Gonna grab my bag and a few old clothes I gotta get away from here I gotta get back to you I gotta get away, gotta get away Gotta get away, gotta get away Gotta get away
