[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
