Runaway

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

Wanna runaway runaway with you

Gonna grab clothes six in the morning go

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
