Away
i.am.orange Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She comes from a small town,
She went and stoled her mama's car
Crazy baby
She says she gonna make it far outta town,
She wanna be a superstar right now.

She says she gonna go to Hollywood
She wanna be on movie screens,
Pretty baby
She made it on that magazine, top down
She ain't the only one,
This happens all the time and it goes on and on and on.

Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.
Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

I wanna run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Run baby, run, I don't wanna think about it.
Run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

He's a boy from the ghetto,
He wanna buy his mom a house
Her little baby
Is trying to move her up that town
He's got a job
He's selling drugs, but she don't know
His momma's proud.
He said he's going to move to Hollywood,
Up on a hill next to Denzel
Sister know now
She's mad as hell, but she won't tell mama
He ain't the only one
this happens all the time
And it goes on and on and on.

Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.
Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

I wanna run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Run baby, run, I don't wanna think about it.
Run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

Ride on a rocket ship
Ride on a rocket ship (Burnin' it up)
Ride on a rocket ship (Burnin' it up)
Ride on a rocket ship

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go

Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.
Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

I wanna run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Run baby, run, I don't wanna think about it.
Run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.
Let's go far away from home,
Ride on a rocket
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

I wanna run away from home,
I don't wanna think about it,
Run baby, run, I don't wanna think about it.
Run away from home,




I don't wanna think about it,
Burn down the boulevard, burning it up.

If you loop the song- it is neverending.
I come back to this song so often just to loop it. It's a song you can't listen to just once. This is a song that has to be looped for approx. an hour or so every time I listen to it.
