  • Well, I got to take a break from it all
    'Cause the wind and the wilderness calls
    And I just need some peace from the storms
    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 bein' enclosed by the walls
    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
    To 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
    And I won't hear the sirens or the maddening crowds
    Just the bark of a fox and the hoot of an owl
    Ain't got no connections or a satellite phone
    I'm avoiding the pictures and the people back home

    And I just got to break free from it all
    You see, they can't last forever, I'll be diving back in
    It's good for my soul, yes, it's saving my skin
    'Cause I love the laughter, the women, the wine
    I 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
    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 Writer/s: Keith Richards, Michael Jagger
