Break Away
Rascal Flatts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Opened my eyes this morning with a smile on my face
My arms wrapped around you, took me away
And it got me to thinkin', what we need to do
Is take a Sunday drive, and drive on through
Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday too

Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away

We'll hit Tulsa by Tuesday, follow the stars above
Spend the weekend in Vegas and gamble on sweet, sweet love
It don't matter what we do, as long as I'm with you

Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away

Yeah, yeah
Break away
Yeah, yeah

Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day to break away

Let's disappear, gotta jet out of here
Feel the wind across our face
We'll have some fun, gonna dance on the run
It's a perfect day...





Girl, it's a perfect day to break away
