[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
Ive known it for a long time
~#**************#~
Daddy wakes up to a drink at 9
~#**************#~
Disappearin all night
~#**************#~
I dont wanna know where hes 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 dont expect me back this evening
~#**************#~
Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this
~#**************#~
Its been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I love him from my skin to my bones
~#**************#~
But I dont wanna live in his home
~#**************#~
Theres nothing to say cause he knows
~#**************#~
Ill just run away and be on my own
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
Ive never seen my dad cry
~#**************#~
Cold as stone in the kitchen light
~#**************#~
Ill tell you its about time
~#**************#~
But I was raised to keep quiet
~#**************#~
This is what Im gonna do
~#**************#~
Gonna run away, gonna make that move
~#**************#~
Gonna grab clothes and when its mornin, go
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
“How long you leaving?”
~#**************#~
Well, dad, just dont expect me back this evening
~#**************#~
Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this
~#**************#~
Its been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I love him from my skin to my bones
~#**************#~
But I dont wanna live in his home
~#**************#~
Theres nothing to say cause he knows
~#**************#~
Ill 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 wasnt down with that plan
~#**************#~
To attack, intends to show love
~#**************#~
I dont 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 dont 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, Ill leave town
~#**************#~
With a backpack on my shoulder
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
I love him from my skin to my bones
~#**************#~
But I dont wanna live in his home
~#**************#~
There’s nothing to say cause he knows
~#**************#~
Ill just run away and be on my own
