Song Description

I know this song is too long, but I couldn't bring myself to shorten it.

Lyrics

She couldn't think with one thing on her mind
She knew she had to get a way
Though she did what she did, she was biding her time
And she knew she had to get away
She watched TV, tried to live the movies, and have a life vicariously
But for no reason why, she was so unhappy
She knew she had to get away

Whoa, whoa, whoa, she knew she had to get away
Whoa, whoa, whoa, now she's living on the road today
Whoa, whoa, whoa, her family said she threw her life away
Whoa, whoa, whoa, but you know she had to get a-, she knew she had to get a-, she knew she had to get away

With a smile on her face and a tear in her eye
She put her life into a sack
She opened the door, walked in to her knew life,
And she knew there was no looking back
It was so hard to leave, too hard to stay
There was nothing more for her to say
What no one had done and nothing had happened was why she had to get away

And the road seems so long
And the wind blows so strong
But she's free on her own
And she carries the scars of yesterday
She had to get away

Now she sometimes wonders if leaving was right
She just picked up and went away
But she couldn't be happy with her former life and she knew she had to get away
There've been tears from her, tears from her family
And both still sometimes flow today
She couldn't say "goodbye" or say why she left
She just knew she had to get away

Whoa, whoa, whoa
You know she had to get away
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Now she's living on the road today
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Her family said she threw her life away, but
Whoa, whoa, whoa
But you know she had to get away
