Lyrics:
Gotta get away from your worries
Gotta get away from your cares
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Catching little sunfish
Left and right
Put him on the stringer
He's alright
He's alright
Hollywood come a calling
Fourteen years can change your life
Change you life
Yeah change your life
Floating down river
Late one night
Looking for a shelter
Full of fright
Late one night
Late one night
Gotta get away, yeah
Gotta get away from your cares
Gotta get away, yeah
Gotta get away
Gotta get away from your worries
Gotta get away from your cares
Gotta get away, yeah
Gotta get away
The song is inspired by, and includes clips from, Deliverance, a 1972 John Boorman film. Four Atlanta businessmen, Lewis (Burt Reynolds), Ed (Jon Voight), Bobby (Ned Beatty) and Drew (Ronny Cox) - decide to canoe down the fictional Cahulawassee River in the remote Georgia wilderness, expecting to have fun and see the glory of nature before the river valley is flooded over by the upcoming construction of a dam and lake.
The four are far from civilization, the locals are crude and wary of outsiders, some of them apparently inbred. Drew briefly connects with a local banjo-playing boy, joining him in an impromptu bluegrass jam.
Their canoes briefly separated, Bobby and Ed pause to get their bearings. Encountering a pair of grizzled hillbillies emerging from the woods, one wielding a loaded shotgun, they make a random comment about a moonshine still. The condescending Bobby is then forced at gunpoint to strip naked and while on his knees, his ear is twisted and he is ordered to "squeal like a pig" as one hillbilly proceeds to rape him. Ed is held at gunpoint by the other man.
Lewis sneaks up and kills the rapist with an arrow from his recurve bow and the other hillbilly escapes into the woods. They make a run for it, but disaster strikes at a dangerous stretch of rapids. Shot by the surviving hillbilly, Drew falls into the river.
Canoes collide on the rocks, Lewis breaking his femur. He believes they are being stalked, and encourages Ed to climb a rock face to dispatch the surviving hillbilly using his bow. Ed hides out until morning, when the shooter appears with a rifle. Ed freezes with "Buck Eggar" as the man raises his rifle to fire, clumsily releasing his arrow as the man's bullet slams into the rock just next to him. Ed accidentally stabs himself with one of his own arrows and the hillbilly staggers and collapses.
They weigh down the dead hillbilly with stones and drop him into the river. Later they come upon Drew's corpse which they weigh down and sink in the river so not to be found.
At their final destination of Aintry, they concoct a cover story about Drew's disappearance being an accident, lying to Sheriff Bullard in order to escape a possible double murder charge. The sheriff has no evidence to arrest them and says only: "Don't ever do anything like this again..." and they readily agree. The three vow to keep this a lifelong secret, which proves burdensome for Ed who awakens later screaming from a nightmare in which a man's hand rises from the lake.
