"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

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

Thumb on side of the roadway

But I love him from the 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 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 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

Thumb on side of the roadway

But I love him from the 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

Back pack, and a flat cap, turned to the back

Cause I packed my clothes up

My dad was a man without plans of attack and tends to show that

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 hope that

Things change, but for now

I leave town with a backpack on my
shoulder

I love him from the 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
