I really love that song by Lenny kravitz, one of my all time favorites, Did you notice that in that song he says "I got to get away, I got to fly away", almost referring to his other song "Fly away", kinda nice now that I think of that.

yes, there is a part of the song in american woman but i didn't think he was refering to his another song "Fly Away" since it has a different riff /melody. I also like "Are you gonna go my way"

based on the lyrics,
American woman, I said get away
American woman, listen to what I say
don't come hanging around my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen to what I say
American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be
I gotta go
I gotta get away
Think I gotta go
I wanna fly away
I'm gonna leave you woman (4 x)
Bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye bye
American woman
You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Looking at you right in the ey
Tell you what i'm gonna do
I'm gonna leave you woman ....
Even from the beginning of the song till the end, it's telling us either she leaves him alone or he leaves her alone, so fly away is about going away. So it didn't really pass my mind
