I was born by the river
It put a rope in my hand
Still gives me the shivers
Where I let it land
I had to get out, get away
I had to get out some day
Had to get out some day
Neil said it was nowhere
But I know he was here
I don't mind it all that much
Except for the fear
Don't mind it too much
Except for the fear
I had to get out, get away
I had to get out some day
Had to get out some day
I guessed by now I'd be
Out there in the world
But I'm back where I started
Without a girl
Back where I started
Without a girl
I had to get out, get away
I had to get out some day
Had to get out some day
So this was my song
Depicting life and how
The rise and fall came to
John Noir
The rise and fall of
John Noir
I had to get out, get away
Had to get out some day
Had to get out some day
