Story Behind The Song

The Rob Mac Project had just started writing material and getaway was just one of those tunes that came together very quickly, the music lent itself to the lyrics and the song was born and the journey had started.

Song Description

Getaway is about breaking free and following your heart to freedom, jumping in the car and just driving away. Its about knowing what you want and exactly how your going to get it, having confidence and reaching your destination.

Lyrics

GETAWAY
MUSIC BY ROB LYRICS BY MEL DONNELL

YEAH
HEY
HUH
(V1)
MOVING ON THE ROAD
I CAN FEEL THE FUTURES SHINING
TAKING OFF THE LOAD
I KNOW JUST WHERE I AM FLYING

WIND IS IN MY HAIR
I REALLY KNOW I AM FREE THIS TIME
A SIDEWARD GLANCE MAY STARE
BUT ALL I HAVE TO SAY TO YOU

(BRIDGE)
IF YOU CAN'T SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS BABY
I JUST REALLY CAN
CAUSE I

(CHORUS)
I FEEL IT, IT'S COMING
MOVING ON MY ROAD AGAIN
THE WHEELS THEY KEEP TURNING
WATCH ME KEEP THEM ROLLING ON

(V2)
MANY MILES TO GO
TILL I REACH MY DESTINATION
WON'T BE MOVING SLOW
I'VE NO FEAR OF WHAT IM FACING

WATCH THE POPPIES GROW
AS I SEED THE FIELDS I'M PASSING
KEEP CHANGING AS I GO
DON'T BE SCARED I WON'T BE CRASHING

(BRIDGE 2)
YOU'LL BE IN FOR ONE HELL OF A RIDE
IF YOU WANNA JUMP ABOARD
CAUSE I

(CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
I FEEL IT, IT'S COMING
MOVING ON MY ROAD AGAIN
THE WHEELS THEY KEEP BURNING
WATCH ME KEEP THEM ROLLING ON
YEAH

(SOLO)

(V3 ½ RAPPED)
THE SHADES ARE ON MY FACE AND THE MUSIC'S PLAYING LOUD
I AM FREE WITHIN MY SOUL AND I AM FREE AMONGST THE CROWD
BUT I SEE PEOPLE BREAKING DOWN ON THEIR LITTLE STRIP OF ROAD
THEIR FACES LOOKING DRAWN AND SAD I WISH THAT I COULD EASE THEIR LOAD CAUSE

THE INSPIRATION FLOWS
WITH EVERY GEAR SHIFT THAT IM MAKING
IM PUSHING DOWN MY TOES
AND BOY AM I ACCELERATING

(BRIDGE)
HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY YEAH 1

(CHORUS*3 WITH IMPRO OVER THIRD CHORUS)
(CHORUS 2)
