She's just gotta get away
Leaving in the morning
Out there on the freeway
She's on her own

She puts the pedal to the metal
Across the continental
Quick stop for a pack of smokes
You know she's on her way. . . hey yeah

Why don't she tell nobody?
Why don't she let us know?
Won't all her nights get lonely
Out there on the open road

Oh she's just gotta getaway
Getaway
Oh drive it like you stole it, baby
Like you stole it baby

Heard it through the grapevine
She's headed for Hollywood and bright lights
All the sex, drugs and money
And fame-fueled junkies that chase the sublime

Why don't she tell nobody?
Why don't she let us know?
Hey won't all her nights get lonely
Out there on the open road
Oh she's just gotta getaway
Getaway
Oh drive it like you stole it, baby
Like you stole it baby

Every day's a living reminder
The life she's leaving falling behind her

Oh she's just gotta getaway
Getaway
Oh drive it like you stole it, baby
Like you stole it baby

Every day's a living reminder
The life she's leaving falling behind her

YEAH
