I'm Getting Away From The Way I Used To

I'm getting away...from the way I used to do 
I'm getting away...from the way I used do too 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to think 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to drink 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away 

I'm getting away...from the way I used to be 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to see 
I'm getting away...from the way I used the book
I'm getting away...from the way I used to look 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away 

I'm getting away...from the way I used to pay 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to play 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to act 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to react 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away

I'm getting away...from the way I used to walk 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to talk
I'm getting away...from the way I used to put things on the shelf 
I'm getting away...from the way I used to get away from myself 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away 
I'm getting away, getting away, getting away

I should try some of these. After a brain hemmorage 3 years ago, I've learned to do a lot of these things again and it feels wonderful especially the way I "act and react" to things. This would make a terrific song Charles !
