Lyrics

I found a road to take free of my mistakes
I'm going somewhere far away a place that I have made
I found a road to take
Free of my mistakes
My Sweet Escape

Sherri cooks a lovely spread barry come home late she shouldn't feel frustrated though it happens every night when she lays her head to rest she begins to dream and she dreams…

I found a road to take free of my mistakes
I'm going somewhere far away a place that I have made
I found a road to take
Free of my mistakes
My Sweet Escape

Morgan grabs the phone again intent to make the call
when he hears the voice machine he gives up on it all
he says "why won't you answer me, I just want to talk!"
and tell you…

I found a road to take free of my mistakes
I'm going somewhere far away a place that I have made
I found a road to take
Free of my mistakes
My Sweet Escape

Broken Betty's body lays motionless and still
breathing machines
think things again she never will
but she counts her blessings still
she lives in Oregon
in her final moments a single passing thought
"my sorrows disappear, my troubles are erased"
yeah she thinks…

I found a road to take free of my mistakes
I'm going somewhere far away a place that I have made
I found a road to take
Free of my mistakes
My sorrow disapears, my troubles are erased
My Sweet Escape

Song Information

"Relaxing in my room one day after work, I heard aaron singing just an amazing hook outside in the living room. After listening for a couple of minutes I decided to join him. This hook remained a hook for nearly a year, until the Hub Group sent me to a school on Structured Query Language. Sounds fun huh? Well some of it was to me, but as you can imagine after about 2 hours of the 8 hour classes my mind would eventually wonder back to Overman. I wrote thru the verses pretty quickly, it was one of those instances where it just poured out in the right way. I remember singing them to myself during our 15 minute breaks, barely controlling how excited I was. These classes is also where 'OverComics' were born, and I even learned a little bit of SQL inbetween Overman ventures!" - Matt

"I had gone into my Mom's bedroom one afternoon to get a set of keys or something and noticed a Sweet Escape snack bar on her nightstand. I'm not sure why, but it struck me as slightly odd, and very bold, that something as simple as a snack bar would bill itself as a "sweet escape." Hate your job? Having a bad day? Have a Sweet Escape bar and forget about your troubles for awhile. I got to thinking about it and quickly started humming, then singing, the chorus to myself. I recorded it on my phone so I wouldn't forget it and sang it for the guys when I got home." - Aaron
