Story behind the song
I think everyone has had the urge to shuck it all at some point in their lives.
Lyrics
I've been chained to this time clock half my life and it's bled more life from me than my ex wife but I'll break these chains when I walk out today I've served my time and now it's time for my chains to breakaway breakaway freedom's on my mind paid my dues served my time won't know where the road leads till I go breakaway adios goodbye gonna live before I die today is my independence day time to breakaway why should I keep on doin what I do I I'm walkin now I've more than paid my dues why I could punch this clock till I'm old and gray and for my trouble have a gold watch a party and a cake this life is leadin nowhere nothin's here for me and for the first time as my shackles breakaway I know I'm finally free my friends believe I've gone out of my mind but there's more to life than what I've left behind dreams still burn within my heart from younger days today my dreams and I walked out and saw our chains breakaway
