gotta get away的詞曲作者不詳，但有許多版本的歌曲與其相似。以下是其中一個版本的歌詞：
歌詞：
Verse 1：
Got to get away from this world
Leave this life behind
Find a place where I belong
Somewhere far, far away
Chorus：
Got to find a way to escape
Leave this pain behind
Running for my life and crying out
Where can I go? I don't know
Verse 2：
Life's like a stormy sea that's endless
The pain, the fear, they never stop
But I know I can find my freedom
Got to get away, got to get away
Chorus：
Got to find a way to escape
Leave this pain behind
Running for my life and crying out
Where can I go? I don't know
Bridge：
And if I try to face the pain
And feel it in my heart
Then it will destroy me all over again
So I got to run, gotta get away
Chorus：
Escape and leave it all behind
Find a new life where I belong
Got to find a way to run away
Somewhere far, far away, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
