    My most featured song here at MP3.com. Cruise pop, jangly guitars and cool vocal. This version has retracked vocals over a very slightly different backing mix. If you like this song and want best quality then pick this version.

    Story Behind the Song
    I heard some friends of mine had bought a Kombi van and travelled the UK. No big deal normally but these "baby boomers" figured getting away from their everyday surroundings might just put their lives back together. This prompted me to write this song. There is also that wonderful feeling as you begin a trip to another place, maybe where you have just been is fine, but moving on has an another expectational groove all of it's own.

    Lyrics
    Good To Getaway _ KILLIP copyright 2002

    Someday’s it’s cold
    Someday’s it’s hot
    On a winding road
    Took you for better or not

    And as we travel this road
    It soon becomes clear
    You and me friend
    Got nothing to fear

    I nearly got lost
    It was a sure close thing
    You brought me back from the edge
    Now we’re on the wing

    As we laugh and talk
    ‘bout the way we were
    It soon becomes clear
    I was in a blur

    Now we’re riding through the moonlight
    Laughing all the way
    Got the wind on our heels
    Tomorrow’s gonna be a good day
    Aren’t you glad to get away
    It’s good we got away

    Solo

    It’s easy here
    Soaking up the miles
    In a Kombi Van
    Grinning thru our smiiles

    Now we’re riding through the moonlight
    Laughing all the way
    Got the wind on our heels
    Tomorrow’s gonna be a good day
    Aren’t you glad to get away,
    It’s good we got away

    Then there’s the silence
    We rustle up a thought or two,
    Right now I’m thinking ‘bout the hide and seek time
    I couldn’t find you

    And as I think about me,
    How I didn’t wanna go
    I’ve rediscovered a friend
    I thought I used to know

    And as we travel this road
    It soon becomes clear
    You and me friend
    Got nothing to fear

    Someday’s it’s cold
    Someday’s it’s hot
    On a winding road
    Took you for better or not

    Now we’re riding through the moonlight
    Laughing all the way
    Got the wind on our heels
    Tomorrow’s gonna be a good day
    Aren’t you glad to get away
    It’s good to get away
