dolly parton & family - runaway girl lyrics

[verse 1: dorothy jo owens parton, dorothy jo owens parton & dolly parton]
my mother left my daddy, ran away with another man
it wasn’t very long until my daddy married again
they had a little boy they called jimmy, my half brother
they said he was just like my dad and i was like my mother

[verse 2: dorothy jo owens parton, dorothy jo owens parton & dolly parton, dolly parton]
now jimmy’s old enough to go school, he’s so mean
he tells my daddy lies on me just to start a scene (oh, ooh, woah)
my daddy beats me every day for one thing or another
and tells me every day i’m getting more and more like mother

[verse 3: dorothy jo owens parton, dorothy jo owens parton & dolly parton, dolly parton]
one day at school, a boy asked me if he could carry my books
and before i could say yes, i know little jimmy gave me a look
that told me i would get a beating whenever i got home
and so he ran ahead of me and left me with his boy alone (alone)

[verse 4: dorothy jo owens parton, dorothy jo owens parton & dolly parton]
my mind was running wild, i wondered how much could i take
when this boy i barely knew asked me for a date
i told him i’d do anything just to get away
so we made our plans for me to run away that day

[verse 5: dorothy jo owens parton, dorothy jo owens parton & dolly parton, dolly parton]
now i’m living in a dingy room in a dirty part of town (oh, oh, oh, oh)
and this boy i barely know hardly ever comes around (oh, oh, oh, oh)
but he pays my rent and buys my food and calls himself my lover
daddy tells folks back home i ran away
just like my mother
[outro: dorothy jo owens parton, dorothy jo owens parton & dolly parton]
oh, if i could only tell my father
i’d rather have the real, true love of a daddy and a mother
