I been out on the road with my thumb 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 with my thumb 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.
