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
six in the morning go
How long you leavin'
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 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 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 say
'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 clothes up
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 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 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 say
'cause he knows
I'll just runaway and be on my own
