I've known it for a long timeDaddy wakes up to a drink at nineDisappearing all nightI don't wanna know where he's been lyingI know what I wanna doWanna runaway, runaway with youGonna grab clothes, six in the morn-in' goHow long you leavingWell dad just don't expect me back this eveningOh it could take a bit of time to heal thisIt's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway,butI love him from my skin to my bonesBut I don't wanna live in his homeThere's nothing to say cos he knowsI'll just runaway and be on my ownI've never seen my dad cryCold as stone in the kitchen lightI'll tell you it's about timeBut I was raised to keep quietThis is what I'm gonna doGonna runaway, gonna make that moveGonna grab clothes, and when it's morn-in, goHow long you leavingWell dad just don't expect me back this eveningOh it could take a bit of time to heal thisIt's been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway,butI love him from my skin to my bonesBut I don't wanna live in his homeThere's nothing to say 'cause he knowsI'll just runaway and be on my ownBackpack and a flat cap turned to the backAs I packed my clothes upMy dad wasn't down with that plan to attack, intends to show loveI don't wanna live this wayGonna take my things and goIf things change in a matter of daysI could be persuaded to hold upMama was the sameNone of us are saints I guess that god knows thatI don't wanna runawayAnd one of these days I might just show thatPut my home in a suitcaseTie both shoe laces and hope thatThings change but for now I'll leave town with a backpack on my shoulderI love him from my skin to my bonesBut I don't wanna live in his homeThere's nothing to say cos he knowsI'll just runaway and be on my own
