From the recording Between the Wars
Lyrics
Breakaway
m.litton
Late night closes round a little prairie town
Lone car out on the highway, moon cuts through the clouds
Two young hearts, they’re trying to break free
Take my hand, girl, come breakaway with me
Feeling hunted like two shadows on the run
Only wanting to escape this dead-end where we’re from
Feel your long hair blow against mine
Don’t want to die till I reach the sky
(chorus): Where does the road lead beyond the distant hill
We reach the horizon, we’re standing here still
Why is there no answer when the question gets real
Stab me in the heart, ask me how I feel
Caught like a tumbleweed in a barbed wire fence
Tremble without moving just touching your skin
All my life I’ve been trying to break free
Take my hand, girl, come breakaway with me
Red fox in the headlights trots along the road
His eyes flash yellow as he jumps the ditch to go
Deep into the night to vanish in his dream
He answers no one, he always been free
Let it all pass away, it’s all been said before
Take what we got today, don’t need nothing more
Take you in my arms, draw your breath o mine
Don’t want to die till I reach the sky
Where does the road lead…
