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 tryin' to tryin' to get away yeah.. Tryin' to tryin' 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 comin' to.. Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna' do.. . CHORUS. 'Cause I been tryin' to tryin' to get away yeah.. I been tryin' to tryin' to get away yeah.. .
