In a Simon and Garfunkel song, “I’ve got to creep down the alley way, fly down the highway. Before they come to catch me, I’ll be gone…” where?

“Somewhere They Can’t Find Me” tells essentially the same story that Simon and Garfunkel told in their song “Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” It is about a man who robbed a liquor store and now regrets his crime.

“Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.” is the title song of their first album (released 10/19/64), while “Somewhere They Can’t Find Me” is on their second album, “Sounds of Silence” (released 1/17/66).

Two major differences are that “Somewhere” includes the chorus (with the lyrics noted in the question and correct answer) and is a faster, rougher, more intense song, with electric guitar, bass, and drums accompanying the vocals.

The third major difference is how the songs end. Both versions have the antihero singer lamenting his bad decision to his still-sleeping woman. But “Wednesday” ends with the lyrics, “The morning is just a few hours away”, while “Somewhere” ends with “Somewhere they can’t find me.” The focus has shifted from regret about the loss of his love to concern about the loss of his freedom.
