lyrics

Blowin' Away

I know you don’t really love your job
But you like to feel the cash in your back pocket
No use denyin' where your time has gone
You had a five-year plan and you just forgot it.

Well, it’s only paper - light as feathers
Do yourself a favor - you know better

We're blowin' away - so leave your sorrow
Leavin' today - we’ll be there by tomorrow
Makin' our way - beg, steel or borrow
And baby - say that you’ll follow

I know you don’t really love your man
But you like to feel his hand in your back pocket
Now you're sittin' makin' lists of all the shit you can't stand
It was a beautiful love but now you've lost it

You said “forever” - now you’re tied and tethered
Do yourself a favor - you can do better

We're blowin' away - so leave your sorrow
Leavin' today - we’ll be there by tomorrow
Makin' our way - beg, steel or borrow
And baby - say that you’ll follow

Life can be ruthless
But you can't make excuses
Gotta move when you hear the music
Though it may seem sweet and loud
It's trav'lin' at the speed of sound
Driftin' away on the breeze
Just like you and me
You and me

Blowin' away - so leave your sorrow
Leavin' today - we’ll be there by tomorrow
Makin' our way - beg, steel or borrow
And baby - say that you’ll follow
