    Story Behind the Song

    Lyrics
    I had to leave Frisco, time had come to break away
    And when you gotta go you gotta go,
    thats what they say
    So I packed up my clothes and everything I had around
    I grabbed a gasoline can and burned that house down to the ground
    Sometimes you gotta break away.
    I though Canada might be fun,
    so I headed north and out of sight
    ButI never knew lonesome til I spent a cold Vancouver night
    There always seems to be rain
    almost every single day
    Theres something in me that I cant explain, but I
    Just got to break away
    Sometimes you got to break away
    -I'll always be on my own, but I wish I didn't feel so alone
    But time won't let me say what I feel
    And I want to come home.
    Now I'm bound for Tennessee
    I guess you wouldnt understand
    Never thought that youd see me
    om my way to Graceland
    I dont know when I'll get there
    but Lonely Street is where I will stay
    Waiting in the place where
    everybody wants to break away.
    Sometimes you got to break away
