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
[Bridge]
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]
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
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
