Song information
This tune was originally written and recorded back in 2016.

I recently remixed it and asked my dear friend Al Hughson to master it.

It’s about dealing with the stress and strain of life in the modern work-a-day world.

Enjoy!

Lyrics
GETAWAY

I
Workin’ hard all week tryin’ to make that dollar,
runnin’ full-bore on that treadmill again.
Come Friday afternoon I’m ready to holler!
All this stress is makin’ my head spin…

II
They tell me “Life’s a bitch, and then you die!”
What a sad thing to say…
Got no intention of going under.
Must be a better way!

CHORUS:
I need a break from this daily grind!
Don’t get one soon gonna lose my mind!

III
I got a plan for a getaway baby.
It’s not a want it’s a must!
We gotta get us “the hell outta Dodge,”
‘fore we spontaneously combust…

IV
Seems we’re workin’ all the time honey…
When will it be enough?
The way we’re living it’s all the same,
whether it’s boom or bust!

CHORUS:
We need a break from this daily grind!
Don’t get one soon gonna lose our minds!

V
Grab some cash. Gas up the car.
We’re movin’ fast ‘cause we’re goin’ far!
I got a special little place in mind;
a lotta love and a bottle of wine…

VI
We’re gonna hear these old tires squeal…
Buckle up baby, it’s about to get real!
City lights in the rear-view mirror;
our destination gettin’ nearer and nearer!

CHORUS:
We need a break from this daily grind!
Just a little while we’ll be feelin’ fine.
Oh yeah.
Can’t believe how good it makes me feel.
No longer under the gun;
now we’re behind the wheel!

YEAH!

As always, another top notch recording from you and kudos to Al Hiughson as well.. Was that a police car going after you for a speeding ticket in the middle.. Sounds like you revved it up in the end!

Ha ha... The police siren in the middle is just part of all the background noise of city life!

Thanks a lot for the kind "welcome back" Mary. I really had anticipated returning after a month or two, but it's so darn hard to stay away from this place. So many nice folk. So much talent.

Thanks Kenneth. I thought it time to have a little post-election fun, so I resurrected and remixed this song from several years back. Al made it sparkle!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!

"working week blues"... I'm retired now but busier than ever! At least it feels that way sometimes. Still need to GETAWAY now and again.
Hey man, you may have come up with a new genre: "Friday Rock"! Lol...

What a great song Mike. I haven't been stuck in that "daily grind" for a few decades now, but yes, it is indeed good to get away from any "routine" for a spell. So glad you're cranking out those top 10 hits again !

Excellent work on guitars and vocals. This is the rock I like, done well. I will send you some of my old recordings if you want to adopt them and fix them with your style. Bravo! 😊

Thanks Thierry. SPOILER ALERT: although I'm 71 and fully retired I'm busier than ever. It was easier for me to find time to make music back when I held BOTH a full time and part time job! One of God's little jokes methinks!

A common refrain given life with humor and fine music. Another good one Mike.

You do always rock out good and get straight to the point about things.  Kudos to that as well to the fact that vocals, guitars, and everything else is at the top of it's game as usual.   The weird riffing midway through was super cool.  I especially dug that.
