Getting Free from Good Story by Eliza McLamb

Good girl, you did it again
Found out what’s been missing
Now you’re in the back of the bus
Just sweating through your stitches

Smoking golds in the Kansas heat
Vacuum-sealing chicken feet
Well if it wasn’t for the glory
It was for fun

I’m starting over and over again
I find a bright light and I chase it

There’s so many ways it could have gone down
Pretty much all of them easier than right now
When it’s just me and the world I make a place I can find escape from
Running down the street, away from what I thought I wanted
Getting free

Well I never got my degree
Somewhere out there, another me
She’s filing papers or in a car on the other side of the street

Spilling drinks at the waitress job
Isn’t much but it’s always enough to know
I’m always on my way to wherever I go

I’m staring over and over again
I’m breaking out and I think I’ll make it

There’s so many ways it could have gone down
Pretty much all of them easier than right now
When it’s just me and the world I make a place I can find escape from
Running down the street, away from what I thought I wanted
Getting free

Close a door, climb out the window
If I wanted it could be so simple
But I pick a fight just to see me win
And you know I’m gonna do it again
I complain but I love the cage
I love getting stuck lockpicking for days
I love getting free just because I can
And you know I’m gonna do it again
There’s so many ways it could have gone down
Pretty much all of them easier than right now
When it’s just me and the world I make a place I can find escape from
Running down the street, away from what I thought I wanted
Getting free
