Breakaway Lyrics by Nick Lowe

Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit

0

A-breaka-, a-breaka-, a-breaka-, a-breaka-
(Break, break, break, break)
A-breaka-, a-breaka-

A-breaka-breaka-breakaway, for time is flyin'
Breakaway, my heart is cryin'
It's time I told myself, don't sit and mourn
Feeling sad and so forlorn
Yesterday, I was not born
So I'm gonna break away

Breakaway (Breakaway, breakaway), the wind is whining
Breakaway (Breakaway, breakaway), for time is flying
I'm gonna pack my bags and get my coat
Lock my door and leave a note
Take a train or a plane or a boat
But I'm gonna break away

I'll take me round from town to town
And I'll see the friends I knew
I left 'em by the wayside
Once upon a time or two

It's time I upped and got away
I need to oh so bad
And if I find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad

Breakaway (Breakaway, breakaway), for time is flyin'
Breakaway (Breakaway, breakaway), my heart is cryin'
It's time I told myself, don't sit and mourn
Feeling sad and so forlorn
Yesterday, I was not born
So I'm gonna break away

(Breakaway, breakaway)

I'll take me round from town to town
And I'll see the friends I knew
I left 'em by the wayside
Once upon a time or two

It's time I upped and got away
I need to oh so bad
And if I find a new love
I'll be glad, glad, glad

Breakaway (Breakaway, breakaway), the wind is whining
Breakaway, for time is flying
I'm gonna pack my bags and get my coat
Lock my door and leave a note
Take a train or a plane or a boat
But I'm gonna break away
I'm gonna break away
I'm gonna break away
I'm gonna break away (Breakaway, breakaway)

Ooh, ooh, ooh (Breakaway, breakaway)
Breakaway
Breaka-, breaka-
Break, break, break, breaka-
Break, breaka-, break, breakaway
