(x4)
Well, I got to take a break from it all
'Cause the wind and the wilderness calls
And I just need some peace from the stars
I got to take a break from it all
And I got to take a break for a while
Where there ain't another human for a hundred miles
I hate being enclosed by the walls
And I've got to take a break from it all
I'll be dancing on diamonds, I'll be skating on vans
I'll be chopping up wood, I'll be splitting the hands
An old damn radio is all that I've got
It just plays Hank Williams and some bad honky-tonk
'Cause I got to take a break from it all
(x2)
I've got to break away from it all
From the city and the suburbs and sprawl
And the small town chatter and the no-dogs
To a place where no one can call
And I won't hear the sirens or the maddening crowd
Just the bark of a fox and the hoot of an owl
Ain't got no connections or a satellite phone
I'm avoiding the pictures and the people back home
And I've just got to break free from it all
You see, they can't last forever, I'll be diving back in
It's good for my soul, yes, it's saving my skin
'Cause I love the laughter, the women, the wine
I've just got to break free from it all
(x4)
And I'm weary of the grey of the trail
I ain't gonna post and I ain't gonna mail
I just need some peace from the storm
I've got to break away from it all
And I've got to break away from it all
And I've got to break away from it all
To a place where no one can call
And I've got to break away from it all
