I was born by the river

It put a rope in my hand

Still gives me the shivers

Where I let it land

I had to get out, get away

I had to get out some day

Had to get out some day

Neil said it was nowhere

But I know he was here

I don't mind it all that much

Except for the fear

Don't mind it too much

Except for the fear

I had to get out, get away

I had to get out some day

Had to get out some day

I guessed by now I'd be

Out there in the world

But I'm back where I started

Without a girl

Back where I started

Without a girl

I had to get out, get away

I had to get out some day

Had to get out some day

So this was my song

Depicting life and how

The rise and fall came to

John Noir

The rise and fall of

John Noir

I had to get out, get away

Had to get out some day

Had to get out some day
