When I'm away I think of you
And how you where I ought to be
And there's one thing I got to do
Get back to you to be free to be me

Cause any time I don't like it
I keep a door way in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through gate 49

It gets me down it makes me sick
To be somewhere I hate to be
So I'll escape I'll take a trip
I'll fly so high to be free to be me

Cause any time I don't like it
I keep a door way in my mind
When I want to be with you
I just walk through gate 49

Just for a time though miles away
I can't put up with what must be
And pretty soon I'll have to take
My walk way out to be free to be me

I may be tired of life it self
But here bores me I like it somewhere else
When I'm away I think of you
And how you're where I ought to be
And there's one thing I got to do
Get back to you to be free to be me
Where I'm mine all the time
Just behind gate 49
