Lyrics
At the age of eleven I planned my escape Carefully sorting the things I would take On my journey to somewhere, wherever that is And this oughta teach 'em to mess with the kid I stored enough food for an army or two I decided to take my dog Glad he could come along Father did not agree He stopped us before we could leave Oh, it was a genuine case of the real lifе blues Some disappointed, mostly confusеd Wanting to leave here but having to stay I'm no good at running away Hey, I'm no good at running away With age in my favor I planned an affair Carefully rehearsing my come hither stare To a picture of Lilly, the homecoming queen This oughta teach them to mess with the king I want you to know that I wanted her so I enrolled in biology, hated biology Before the moment of truth She and her family had moved Oh, it was a genuine case of the real life blues Some disappointed, mostly confused Wanting my lady but stuck with a frog Remember the part with my dog Hey, I'm no good at running away Oh, it's the real life blues Some disappointed, mostly confused Wanting to leave here but having to stay I'm no good at running away Hey, I'm no good at running away Oh, it's the real life blues Some disappointed, mostly confused Wanting to leave here but having to stay I'm no good at running away
