Trying To Get Away by Grand Funk Railroad

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.


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.


Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.
Tryin' to, tryin' to get away.


Chorus


'cause i been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah, yeah, yeah.
