Runaway

I've known it for a long time

Daddy wakes up to a drink at 9

Disappearin' 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, 6 in the mornin', 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 run away 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 run away, gonna make that move

Gonna grab clothes and when it's mornin', go[Pre-Chorus]

"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 run away 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

And Mama was the same, none of us are saints

I guess that God knows that

I don't wanna run away 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[Chorus]

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 run away and be on my own
