Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune) Lyrics

Hey,
now just get in
And close the door
And put your foot down

You know, I like this suburb we're going through
And I've been around here many times before
When I was young we were gonna move out this way
For the clean air, healthy, you know
Away from the factories and the smoke
I like that shop, too
You can get anything there

So just get in
And we'll go for a ride

'Cos we'll go driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
And we'll go moving away from home
Without a care

I'll tell you what
Why don't we cross the city limit
And head on down the M62
It's only thirty nine miles
And forty five minutes to Manchester
And that's my birth-place, you know

Driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
And we'll go moving away from home
Without a care in the world

Driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
Yes, we'll go moving away from home
Without a care

Some of my friends live up North, too
If you like a longer trip
All you've got to do is put your foot hard down to the floor
And we can call on people I know in Newcastle
Or maybe even Glasgow

There's a lot of nice places to see out there
So just don't worry

Moving away from home
Without a care in the world

Driving away from home
Thirty miles or more
Yes, we'll go moving away from home
Without a care in the world

Move-em on, move-em out, move-em up
King of the road, knight of the road
It's all the same to me
I mean, after all
It's just a road

Driving away from home
Drivin'...
Driving away from home

Drivin'...
Driving away from home
Drivin'...

It's Immaterial were an indie pop/new wave band which formed in Liverpool, England in 1980. For most of their career, they were the duo of John Campbell (vocals) and Jarvis Whitehead (guitar). They are best known for their critically acclaimed 1986 single "Driving Away From Home (Jim's Tune)", a Top 20 hit in the United Kingdom. The band released two albums, "Life's Hard And Then You Die" (1986) and "Song" (1990), before disbanding in 1992.

The band's first incarnation was formed by three former members of the power pop group Yachts: Campbell, keyboardist Henry Priestman and guitarist Martin Dempsey, along with drummer Paul Barlow. By 1984, Whitehead had joined and the band had been reduced to the duo of him and Campbell. Priestman later became a producer and keyboardist for the band The Christians, but performed on "Driving Away from Home" as a session musician. Read more on Last.fm.
