Song title: The man who got away ('79)


The man who got away ('79) - Version 1

I work down in the highway
??? county ???
???

I left my family and my friends
??? highway
???
??? I went away
The man who got away

??? round moon
??? circle in the sky
I put on my jacket
And back into town I ride
???
Looking for faces that I don't know
And all the things that tear us apart
Will never again bring us from each others heart
Each others heart
???
???
But I'm the man who got away
But I'm the man who got away
But I'm the man who got away
But I'm the man who got away
But I'm the man who got away

Notes: The River Home Demo 1979.


The man who got away ('79) - Version 2

Last night I went to ???
??? found my seat
???
???

And we talked about ???
???
???
We still chase the man who got away

Every night for weeks and weeks now
I keep ??? now
??? see now
???

I had visions of ???
???
??? night and day
Just waiting for the man who gets away

???
???
???
Too many ???
???
???
???
High speed chase ???

???
???
???
???
???
???
???
??? at the man who got away

Notes: The River Home Demo 1979
