"Away" comes off Rubberneck, the 1994 album by Toadies, and it belongs to Vaden Todd Lewis, who wrote both the music and the words. Lewis sings lead and plays guitar next to Darrel Herbert, with Lisa Umbarger on bass and Mark Reznicek behind the kit.
Two guitars, bass and drums make up the entire credit list, and nothing else is listed. The song kept resurfacing on countdowns for years after Rubberneck's first run, proof that this one had legs of its own.
