He's just a young boy out of school
livin' his world like he wants to
they're makin' laws, but they don't understand
turns a boy in to a fightin' man
they won't take me
they won't break me
no one could tell him what to do
had to learn everything the hard way
he's on the street, breakin' all the rules
i'm tellin' you that he's nobody's fool
they won't take me
they won't break me
now he's leavin', gettin' out from this masquerade
oh gotta go

i'm finally out in the clear and i'm free
i've got dreams i'm livin' for
i'm movin' on where they'll never find me
rollin' on to anywhere
i'll break away, yes i'm on my way
leavin' today, yes i'm on my way
just when you think you had it all figured out
runnin' scared can change your mind
i never knew i had so much to give
how hard times can fool ya
oh i'm okay, i'm alright
feelin' good out on your own
i'll break away, i'll break away tonight
i've got dreams i'm livin' for
i'll break away
yes, i'm on my way
i'm leaving', leavin' today
yes, i'm on my way
this is my escape
yes, i'm on my way
i'll break away
yes, i'm on my way
