Michael Cavanaugh Drive Away
Bad new breaking through my radio
Stocks up and down like dominos
Optimism is running low
I don't need to hear it again
Finders point to the left and right
Kingpins lying through there pearly whites
Scandals cutting like a rusty knife
In a battle that never ends
Well I've seen enough of this puppet show
Now it's time for me to go
I'm gonna drive away
And leave my worries in the dust
Been in last place of this rat race for long enough
I'm gonna drive away
I'm gonna push that pedal down
So if you're looking for me, I won't be around
I'm gonna drive away
Office cutbacks are getting rough
Gossip's spilling out the water cups
And I don't know who I can trust
It's getting harder all the time
Pressure's building in my head
I'm caught in some kind of web
But I'll prove that my dreams ain't dead
Once I see that highway sign
Cause I'm gonna drive away
And leave my worries in the dust
Been in last place of this rat race for long enough
I'm gonna drive away
I'm gonna push that pedal down
So if you're looking for me, I won't be around
I'm gonna drive away
I'm not asking you to follow
Not telling anyone to change
Not trying to start a revolution
But I must be on my way
Yeah, yeah
I'm gonna drive away
And leave my worries in the dust
Been in last place of this rat race for long enough
I'm gonna drive away
I'm gonna push that pedal down
So if you're looking for me, I won't be around
I'm gonna drive away
I'm gonna drive away
I don't need a map to break out of this trap
I'll let the open road show me where to go
I'll be MIA, when I'm out of this maze
I'll leave it all behind me, gonna drive away
