[Verse 1]
I've been trying ta get away, to get away
To leave this old town
I've been trying to see my way, to see my way
So I won't be found
Many times I've felt alone, I've felt alone
But that's all behind
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that

[Chorus]
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay, or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't wanna stay
Leaving tomorrow by subway

[Verse 2]
Some people, they tell me, they tell me
I've been here too long
It don't compel me, they tell me
I just don't belong
Sometimes I wonder, I wonder
What's right or what's wrong
One thing I know, I know
One thing is that
[Chorus]
I know I have to go
Got no dough
Should I stay, or should I go
Gotta get away
Don't wanna stay
Leaving tomorrow by subway

[Instrumental break 1:36-2:17]

[Outro]
(I gotta get away)
Get away, get away, get away
(I gotta get away)
Yeah, baby, get away
(Gotta, gotta, gotta get away)
Wow, just gotta get away
