ESCAPING FROM TODAY
By Tom Hunnicutt

1st Verse/Chorus
See the long haired man standing on the side of the highway;
Dirty jeans and a rolled up sleeping bag,
With a guitar hung o’er his shoulder,
I wonder where and what this young man’s been?

Is He a seacher in search of tomorrow,
Looking for a new and better way,
Or is he running from the pressures of the living?
I wonder if he’s trying to get away?
Escaping From Today.

2nd Verse/Chorus
See the richman in his car driving down the highway;
Fancy car and a brand new business suit.
With a credit card in every pocket.
I wonder where and what this rich-mans’s been?

Is he a searcher in search of tomorrow,
Looking for a new and better way –
Or is he running from the pressures of the living?
I wonder if he’s trying to get away?
Escaping From Today.

3rd Verse/Chorus
See the problems in our lives as we go on living,
Feel the hustle and the bustle of each day.
There’s sadness but joy in the living,
I wonder if we want to get away.

For we’re all searchers in search of tomorrow,
Looking for a new and better way -
But runnings not the answer to our problems,
Now ask yourself do you want to get away?
When there’s only one escape from today.
