Verse I I've known it for a long time
Daddy wakes up to a
drink at night
Disappearing all night
I don't wanna know whe
re he's been lying
I know what I wanna do
I wanna
runaway, run
away with you
Gonna grab clothes, six in the
mornin',
go
Pre-Chorus"
How
long you
lea
vin'?"
"Well dad just
don't expect me
back this
eve
ning."
Oh it could
take a bit of
time to
heal
this
It's been a
long day
Thumb on side of the
roadway, but
ChorusI 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 runa
way and be on my own
ohh..
.
Verse II 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
And this is what I'm gonna do
Gonna
runaway, gonna
make that move
Gonna grab clothes, and when it's
mornin',
go
Pre-Chorus"
How
long you
lea
vin'?"
"Well dad just
don't expect me
back this
eve
ning."
Oh it could
take a bit of
time to
heal
this
It's been a
long day
Thumb on side of the
roadway, but
ChorusI 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 runa
way and be on my own
ohh..

Verse III Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the
back
Cause 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
Could
be persuaded to
hold up
Pre-Chorus And mama was the
same
None of us are
saints
I guess that God
knows that
I don't wanna ru
naway
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 bac
kpack on my shoulder
ChorusI 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 runa
way and be on my own
ohh..
.
