Lyrics
FAR AWAY FROM EVERYWHERE
© Tom Conway
Far away from everywhere we drove that car like we didn't care.
Man that thing could really move
It could be a bed on wheels --a rolling living room
All the guys/girls we met that way they had to say:
"Why don't you stay?"
Far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
When we hit Daytona Beach,
far away from everywhere --out of reach.
I ran across the burning sand, taking everything off, laughing and
I dove right in at the water's edge
Looking up I watched the ripples spread
Far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
The ripples changed the world! The ripples changed the world!
They turned into waves, swept me away and
I'm stronger now than when you went far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
The ripples changed the world! The ripples changed the world!
They turned into waves, swept me away and
I'm stronger now than when you went far away from everywhere
...and changed the world
Far away from everywhere I can really move like I just don't care
I can dive right in from the edge and looking out watch the ripples spread
Far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
The ripples change the world! The ripples change the world!
They turn into waves, sweep me away.
Oh! And I'm stronger now and I think I am going to stay far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
Far away from everywhere
