    Story Behind the Song
    There's an old Kingston Trio record my Dad used to have called At Large, I listened to it a lot when I was a kid. One song on it was about a western gunfighter named John Hardy that has a beautiful guitar riff, sounds like the old west. I expanded on that idea, made it a bit softer, and came up with this. I like the open-ended arrangement, and Peter's djembe playing really added a lot.

    Lyrics
    GETAWAY

    Walls closin' in, all my spirit broken
    City chokin' my freedom, I know I need to run
    Dreams of green oases obsess my night and day
    But greed and gold still hold me, I try but I can't get away

    getaway


    c) Paul Meredith, 1999
