Verse
I leave a note to say that I'm sorry.
I have to go, it's better you see.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
I took some things I need for my journey.
Don't trouble too much, I'd rather be free.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.

Chorus
Out in the night I go like an angel.
I wanna run as hard as fast as I can.
And in the morning I reach the highway,
riding along with one of those highwaymen.
Get away, no one will notice my escape, gotta get away.
Get away, no one will miss me, it's okay, gotta get away.
Get away, no one will notice my escape, gotta get away.

Verse
I've got a friend in North Carolina.
I know a girl who lives in L.A.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
Believe me, I call as soon as I get there.
Can't hold me back, 'cause I'm on my way.
It's the right time, it's the nighttime.
