Back pack, and a flat cap turned to the back
                          F  Dm
Cause I packed my clothes up
                                     Bb                  F

Could be persuaded to hold up

And mama was the same
               F
None of us are saints
                 C         Gm
I guess that God knows that
                  Dm
I don't wanna runaway
                 F                 C        Gm
And one of these days I might just show that
                 Dm
Put my home in a suitcase
         F              C        
Tie both shoe laces and hope that
Am                       
 Things change but for now I'll leave town

With a backpack on my shoulder


                    Dm                Bb  F
I love him from the skin to my bones
                  Dm         Gm F
But I don't wanna miss home
                   Dm                  Bb F
There's nothing to say cause he knows
              Dm                   Bb    Dm 
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm
