Well, I've got to take a break from it all
'Cause the wind and the wilderness calls
And I just need some peace from the storms
I got to take a break from it all

And I got to take a break for a while
Where ain't no other human for a hundred miles
I hate bein' enclosed by the walls
And I got to take a break from it all

I'll be dancin' on diamonds, I'll be skatin' on glass
I'll be choppin' up wood, I'll be splittin' the halves
An old damn radio is all that I've got
It just plays Hank Williams and some bad honky-tonk
'Cause I got to take a break from it all

And I got to break away from it all
From the city and the suburbs and sprawl
And the small-town chatter and the know-it-alls
To a place where no one can call

And I won't hear the sirens or the maddenin' crowd
Just the bark of a fox and the hoot of an owl
I ain't got no connections or a satellite phone
I'm avoidin' the pictures and the people back home

And I just got to break free from it all
You see, it can't last forever, I'll be divin' back in
It's good for my soul, yes, it's savin' my skin
'Cause I love the laughter, the women, the wine
I just got to break free from it all

But I'm way off the gird, off the trail
And I ain't gonna post and I ain't gonna mail
I just need some peace from the storm
I got to break away from it all

And I got to break away from it all
And I got to break away from it all
To a place where no one can call
And I got to break away from it all
