Breakaway

She's spent a lifetime in this one horse town

Slowly dying since the mill closed down

There's something out there past a city limit sign

The mysteries concealed just beyond the county line

A beat up cardboard box contains the sum of eighteen years

The screen door's final slam leaves its ringing in her ears

She climbs behind the wheel of that old car in the drive

It stutters groans and mumbles as the engine roars to life

Break away, oh spread your wings and fly

Break away and leave this town behind
