It's all moving so fast, doing 90 on the freeway
Ain't no looking back, cuz I just gotta get away
Spot the police up ahead, as I'm switching lanes
Catch me if u can police man, as I speed away
I don't care, I got nothing to lose
I know life ain't fair, that ain't nothing new
I know I messed up, I'll be a man about it
But right now I need some time to wrap my mind around this (Yeah)
I grip the steering wheel tight, ready for a fight
My struggle ain't with these streets, it's my head tonight
I gotta get right, before I lose my patience
Hoping to find peace, flipping through these radio stations
I never intended to hurt you and that's for real (And that's for real)
I'd take it back if I could but that ship sailed
So let me adjust my rear view, no more looking behind
I'm about to mash this gas and leave it all behind
I slam my door shut and put my car in drive
I gotta get away and leave it all behind
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Get away)
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Get away)
I said it was never gonna happen again
But here I am praying, in my car again
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
My palms stay sweaty, hard to keep the wheel steady
These street lights flying by, like they was Mario Andretti
My engine steady screaming, as my mind stay steady scheming
Looking for a way to slay every one of my demons (Help me Lord)
Contemplating my position, my life a sum of decisions
Every turn I make is the wrong way, I'm my own opposition
And there ain't no profession, that could improve my condition
That's why my whole life, has become one big contradiction
So easy to judge, when you stand from afar
You got no idea where my walk is with my God
So before you throw stones, maybe you should consider
That man in the mirror ain't the same man in your pictures
So much to consider, as I drive down the road
That only God knows what tomorrow holds
I can't run forever, I gotta make that change
I'm gonna turn around, I'm gonna start today
I slam my door shut and put my car in drive
I gotta get away and leave it all behind
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Get away)
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah (Get away)
I said it was never gonna happen again
But here I am praying, in my car again
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I gotta get away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I slam my door shut and put my car in drive
I gotta get away and leave it all behind
