[Verse 1]
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
[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
[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
[Verse 2]
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
[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
[Bridge]
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
