Gotta gotta gettaway, gotta gotta gettaway
You know there ain`t no street like home
To make you feel so all alone
Plenty of folk to tell you what to do
But they don`t speak the same language as you
(Chorus:)
They wanna have me here
Have me and hold me near
Hold me down fasten and tie
But the cars are all flashing me
Bright lights are passing me
I feel life passing me by
The fuss is buzzing in my head
My father argued and my mother begged
It`s not their words ain`t tugging at me
But gotta stretch them break them get myself free
(Chorus)
Gotta gotta gettaway, gotta gotta gettaway
I`m leaving home
