lyrics

My dear sweet family
I couldn’t be a good son
I’m on a date
With my freedom
I don’t wanna be late
Oh I just can’t wait

I ain’t gonna say goodbye
Cause I hate to see you cry
But before you even know
I will pack my things and go

I wrote those lines
Just to explain why I can’t
Come home again
My feet were tied
Till my silence cried
All the people I see
They won’t let me be

Say mother say
That I’m a bad son
Whatever you say
I’m leaving you today
Say mother say
That I’m a bad son
Whatever you say
I’m going away
