Runaway

[Verse 1] I've known it for a long time Daddy wakes up to a drink at nine Disappearing all night I don’t wanna know where he's been lying I know what I wanna do Wanna runaway, runaway with you Gonna grab clothes, six in the morning, go [Pre-Hook] How long you leaving? 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, thumb on side of the roadway, but [Hook] I love him from my skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in his home There’s nothing to say cause he knows I’ll just runaway and be on my own [Verse 2] I’ve never seen my dad cry Cold as stone in the kitchen light I'll tell you it's about time But I was raised to keep quiet This is what I’m gonna do Gonna runaway, gonna make that move Gonna grab clothes and when it’s morning, go [Pre-Hook] How long you leaving? 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, thumb on side of the roadway, but [Hook] I love him from my skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in his home There’s nothing to say cause he knows I’ll just runaway and be on my own [Verse 3] Backpack and a flat cap turned to the back As I packed my clothes up My dad wasn’t down with that plan to attack, intends to show love I don’t wanna live this way Gonna take my things and go If things change in a matter of days I could be persuaded to hold on Mama was the same None of us are saints I guess that God knows that I don’t wanna runaway And one of these days I might just show that Put my home in a suitcase Tie both shoe laces, and hope that Things change, but for now I'll leave town with a backpack on my shoulder [Hook] I love him from my skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in his home There’s nothing to say cause he knows I’ll just runaway and be on my own
