I heard this song years ago - probably 30 year ago. They played it every day in the coffee house at university. But I never knew who wrote it. It's a lovely upbeat feminist ballad (sung by male voices) about a woman leaving her husband and kids to make a life for herself. Here's what I remember of the lyrics, filtered through many years. If anyone can identify please reply. thanks

Alice Adams lived in Provost(?) Utah,
With two kids and a husband name of Joe
They've been married 5 years come October
Life in Provost Utah's kinda slow
Joey owned the hardware store in Provost
Liked his meals at 7 and on time
Pipe and slippers waiting by his rocker
And his wife and tv both turned on by 9

Alice A was quite a girl in college
Edited the paper and the mag
All of that was changed when she got married
Her typewriter became a cleaning rag.

I think the chorus is:
Steal Away, Steal Away
By sundown you'll be long gone on the faraway
Don't look back now, keep on moving
You'll be in New York by Monday
Steal Away

Other isolated lines:
A suitcase and some books were all she owned
Try to make a new life in the city
Find out can a woman stand alone

thanks a bunch folks!
Hugs
Mugs
