lyrics

Great Escape © 2018 Kim Yarson and Richard Dance

V1
Driving down a caffeinated rush hour road
Idling cars and run down smiles
Worn out from a long ride home
Thinking about the day when I'll retire
Thunder cloud says storms on its way
Don't really need another heavy rain
Or a minute more that's devoid of Joy
So I cast my demons far away

Chorus:
Gonna zone in shut out the craziness
Gonna turn up the radio let go of stress
My GPS is set for peace
Cruise control is smooth and sweet
I need open road that's steady and straight
As I make my great escape

V2
Top down, hair blowing in the wind
It's only 20 miles to get outta town
I leave the heavy load of my past behind
As I jump off the merry-go-round
A little more free time with every mile
I let out my wild inner child
It's time to undo what I've overdone
So I take off for a little while

Chorus

Bridge
Change it up, reimagine the dream
Make my move with a full head of steam
Sometimes a change of scenery is really all I need
If you're lookin for me that's where I'll be

Chorus
