         D              C           G
Well, I got to take a break from it all
            D            C          G
'Cause the wind and the wilderness calls
       D              C               G
And I just need some peace from the stars
   D              C           G
I got to take a break from it all

And I got to take a break for a while
Where there ain't another human for a hundred miles
I hate being enclosed by the walls
And I got to take a break from it all

I'll be dancing on diamonds,
I'll be skating on glass
I'll be chopping up wood,
I'll be splitting the halves
An old AM 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

       D                            C
And I won't hear the sirens or the maddening crowd
          D                     C
Just the bark of a fox and the hoot of an owl
D                              C
Ain't got no connections or a satellite phone
D                                  C
I'm avoiding the pictures and the people back home
               D             C          G
And I've just got to break free from it all

               Em                          C
You see, they can't last forever, I'll be diving
back in
      Em                          G
It's good for my soul, yes, it's saving my skin
       Em                        C
'Cause I love the laughter, the women, the wine
           Em            D          C
I've just got to break free from it all

But I’m way off the grid, off the trail
I ain’t gonna post and I ain’t gonna mail
I just need some peace from the storm
Well, 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
