I'll never forget that [G] dreadful day when I decided to run away.
Little sister was playing with the kitten on the floor, and mama was drunk and I was on the front porch.
And daddy had gone to the grocery [D] store, brother had left the day [G] before.
Packed my clothes but no one [C] was looking out the back door.
And into [G] the bushes and across the hollow and over the [D] creek, down the field and through the [G] trees.
Jumped the fence and I foamed [C] around, much too young to [G] realize I'd [D] regret it all, [G] bye bye.
And [C] I wish I had the love [G] that was offered to me [C] when I was just too young and [G] blind to see.
[C] Was a whole lot of love, [G] but not a whole lot of house.
But I had to [D] leave to [G] find that out, and it seemed [D] like it was only [G] yesterday.

But I had to leave to find that out, and it seemed like it was only yesterday.
If I'd have known then what I know now, [C] I'd have stayed right on my daddy's old [G] farm, a young upstart.
I thought I was [C] smart, I thought I was a man, thought I was a [G] god.
And many a time I thought to my mind [D] that it was me right to leave this [G] town.
Jumped that fence and through the bush [C] and down the field, through the [G] trees.
Across the creek, up the hollow, [D] into the yard and into the door [G] and into the kitchen.
When mama was cooking [C] it up to her, why she wasn't looking [G] at it.
Except the love [D] that was offered to me.
