Trying To Get Away

(album: Phoenix - 1972)

I been out on the road with my thumb in the air,
I'm a long way from home but I just don't care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.

'Cause I been trying to, trying to get away, yeah.
Trying to, trying to get away, yeah.

I passed through New York just the other day,
The smog was bad but not as bad as L.A.
Sometimes I wonder what the world's coming to.
Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna' do.

[CHORUS]
'Cause I been trying to, trying to get away, yeah.
I been trying to, trying to get away, yeah.

I been out on the road with my thumb in the air,
I'm a long way from home but I just don't care.
The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth,
When it's cold up north, that's when I head south.

Trying to, trying to get away.
Trying to, trying to get away.
Trying to, trying to get away.
Trying to, trying to get away.

[CHORUS]

'Cause I been trying to, trying to get away, yeah, yeah, yeah.
