shake away

most of my days i've spend life on the road, took backroad highways to meet the simple folk, nights ran together in a haze of drink and smoke, so i left with the rising sun all alone, gooo!, gooo!, shake away, shake away the old chains in my life, got a new, got a new love and open eyes, break away, break away the old ways and live high, got a new course for the light, made it out west through the deserts and the snow, how you found me i reckon someday i'll know, you picked me up from the depth i couldn't cope, and you showed me a life of love, trust and hope, gooo!, gooo!, shake away, shake away the old chains in my life, got a new, got a new love and open eyes, break away, break away the old ways and live high, got a new course for the light, got a new course for the light, got a new course for the light
