I've known it for a long time Daddy wakes up to a drink at night Disappearing all night I don’t wanna know where he's been lying I know what I wanna do I wanna runaway Runaway with you Gonna grab clothes, socks, in the morning, go
How long could you leave him? Well, Dad just don’t expect me back this evening Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this It’s been a long day Almost out of the wrong way
But I love him from the skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in this home There’s nothing to save cause he knows I’ll just runaway and be on my own
I’ve never seen my dad cry Cold as stone in the kitchen light I tell you it's about time But I was raised to keep quiet And this is what I’m gonna do Gonna runaway, gonna make that move Gonna grab clothes, and when it’s morning, go
How long could you leave him? Well, Dad just don’t expect me back this evening Oh it could take a bit of time to heal this It’s been a long day Almost out of the wrong way
But I love him from the skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in this home There’s nothing to save cause he knows I’ll just runaway and be on my own
Back pack, and a flat cap, turned to the back Cause I packed my closet My dad wasn’t in without that plant too bit tired and turns to show up I don’t wanna live this way Gonna take my things and go If things change in a matter of days Could be persuaded to hold up And mama was the same None of us the same To get the good nose up I don’t wanna runaway And one of these days I might just show that Put my home in a suitcase I wrote shoelaces, and hold that Things change, but for now I leave town with a backpack on my shoulder
But I love him from the skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in this home There’s nothing to save cause he knows I’ll just runaway and be on my own
