An exciting fantasy about a new life is about to occur simply because she is sick of the old life, the cold weather and the daily grind. She's restless and needs to get away because life is wearing her down and all she can think of is the sun, sand, cocktails and partying.

Lyrics
I gotta restless heart
I gotta disappear
I'll take a sunny cantina right next to the pier
Oh yeah, I gotta get away
Leavin' DIA, touch down in L.A., then South
To Acapulco Bay
Start a new tomorrow
Forget my past
I'll beg steal or borrow just to make it last
Oh yeah, I gotta get away
Warm breeze in the shade, drinkin' Tanqueray down South
In Acapulco Bay
Ya know my coat's too heavy, it's wearing me down
The chill is killin' me in this frigid town
Can't sleep, living over by the click-ity clack
I'll take the morning train and I won't be back
Listen closer little lover, can ya hear that beat
It's time to shimmy and a shake on a sandy beach
Oh yeah, I gotta get away
Take me by the hand in that far away land down south
In Acapulco Bay
I gotta get away
I gotta leave today
Drink my Tanqueray
Leavin' DIA, touch down in L.A., then South
To Acapulco Bay
