Are You Trying to Get Away - Hazelwood Motel

I been out on the road with my thumb in the air, I'm a long way from home but I just don't care. The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth, When it's cold up north, that's when I head south. 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah. I passed through New York just the other day, The smog was bad but not as bad as L.A. Sometimes I wonder what the world's comin' to. Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna' do. CHORUS 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah. I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah. I been out on the road with my thumb in the air, I'm a long way from home but I just don't care. The dust from the road makes it dry in my mouth, When it's cold up north, that's when I head south. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away. Tryin' to, tryin' to get away. CHORUS 'Cause I been tryin' to, tryin' to get away, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Ooh yeah I wanted love so bad I gave it all I had It made me feel so good I gave it all I could But now the love is gone I just ride the storm Oh, the things I do Trying to get over you Trying to get over you, yeah Travel around to who knows where In every crowd, I see you there I hear your voice in all the towns It breaks my heart with just the sound And now the love is gone I'll just ride the storm Oh, the things I do Trying to get over you Just trying to get over you, yeah There's so many ways to hide Things that hurt us deep inside Yeah, I'll get by just fine But you're still in these dreams of mine And now the love is gone I'll just ride the storm Oh, the things I do Trying to get over you Just trying to get over you, yeah

The air is getting hotter There's a rumbling in the skies I've been wading through the high muddy water With the heat rising in my eyes Everyday your memory grows dimmer It don't haunt me like it did before I've been walking through the middle of nowhere Trying to get to Heaven before they close the door When I was in Missouri They would not let me be I had to leave there in a hurry I only saw what they let me see You broke a heart that loved you Now you can seal up the book and not write anymore I've been walking that lonesome valley Trying to get to Heaven before they close the door People on the platforms Waiting for the trains I can hear their hearts a-beatin' Like pendulums swinging on chains When you think that you've lost everything You find out you can always lose a little more I'm just going down the road feeling bad Trying to get to Heaven before they close the door I'm going down the river Down to New Orleans They tell me everything is gonna be alright But I don't know what alright even means I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary Jane Miss Mary Jane got a house in Baltimore I've been all around the world, boys Now I'm trying to get to Heaven before they close the door Gonna sleep down in the parlor And relive my dreams I close my eyes and I wonder If everything is as hollow as it seems Some trains don't pull no gamblers No midnight ramblers like they did before I've been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down Now I'm trying to get to Heaven before they close the door

Give it a rest I'm quite aware It was a doomed affair, from the start Everyone told me to stay away It's just a game she plays, with her heart But I'm a man made of flesh and blood Oh god just give me, love's what I crave And as she goes walking out the door She turned to me once more, and she sang I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them Now I'm alone sitting in the park Sitting in the dark, trying to breath Everyone tells me to carry on The damages are done, set me free I was a man made of flesh and blood Oh now just dirt and mud in my veins I know she left, but she's haunting me I hear her mocking me, as she sings I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them Hey! Hey! Oh! Oh! Hey! Hey! Oh! Oh! I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break hearts, no that's not me I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them I don't break, I don't break I don't break hearts, I destroy them
