LYRICS:
I'm going to organise some changes in my life
i'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past
i'm gonna take my car and hit the open road
i'm feeling ready to just open up and go
and I just feel I can be anything
but all my life I´ve wished to be
i fantasize just what i want to be
make my wildest dreams come true
I'm on my way
out on my own again
I'm on my way
out on the road again
but how i've been and how these things just used to be
how i've been stuck inside and full of missery
i get so dissapointed deep inside myself
i couldn't find a way to break away the hell
when i'm feeling down and low
i found i'll never be the same again
i visualise what i am
and then it starts just what i'm gonna be
I'm on my way
out on my own again
I'm on my way
out on the road again
(solo)
(mellody part)
i'm gonna break away
out on my own
gonna break away
out on my own
breaking awaaay
I'm on my way
out on my own again
(repeat 3x)
I'm on my way
I'm gonna break away
