Intro: Verso 1: Packed her bags, hit the road She's headed out of town And it's late, lights are out And there's not a soul around Well she knows in her heart It's time to make a new start So she's finally seized the day This is the great escape Verso 2: Now she thinks to herself Don't you look in that rear view mirror Don't give up on your dreams And she's overcome with tears Nobody knows what she's feeling inside Or the heartache she faced every day Before the great escape Verso 3: Now you can think what you want She's not running away She's really just running somewhere To a place she called home Such a long time ago And somebody who loves her there There's no time to waste This is the great escape
