This song is from Journey's 1981 album "Escape." (Not the live version.) This is one of my favorite of Journey's songs... one of my favorite songs, period. It makes me want to travel. But even when I can't actually take a holiday, I listen to this song and it is my escape.

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

I love this tune. I just played it for my friends 7 year old daughter and she was dancing like the happiest little kid you've ever seen. The power of great music...

Great song! Thanks for posting along with the lyrics. Underrated Journey which hardly ever gets any airplay. If/when it does come on I crank it up and sing along.

My favorite Journey tune too. I probably still would have heard it had I not heard it on Robert Klein's radio show in 1981, but nonetheless that's where I heard it. That shit at 2:00 in still gives me goosebumps DECADES later.

Journeys huge success came at the peak of high school years. Girls were crazy over this stuff, so guess what was in my cassette player (yep not cd yet) when I was out on a date? Thanks Mr. Perry for some amazing nights with some amazing girls!!!
