Stepdad

And now that you know why I'm leavin' And your mum's yelling out That she hopes I don't come back Of course she would say that Don't forget what I told you about your demons They're just thoughts in your head While you sleep no more than that Now fetch my duffle bag If my ride ain't here, then it's coming I can feel it not so far away And I know you're angry, youngin Dry your eyes up Or you won't see Big dog walking away Now if you think I'm chasing the seasons Like a van is some place to be I'm your stepdad And I know they say I'm scheming of leaving Dreaming my life away But if you see my name in the headlines And they're all pissing on me I'm your stepdad And I know they say I'm frail and broken But you can't treat your mom that way I'll tell you how I got to Memphis Saw your mom on a TV show And that was that Both my bags were packed I could put you to sleep just by reading Turn the living room into an avalanche I loved to make you laugh If the paps ain't here Then they're coming I can hear their flashes blast away And I know you're tired, youngin Time to wise up Or you won't see What your dad does for pay Now if you think I'm chasing the seasons Like a van is some place to be I'm your stepdad And I know they say I'm scheming of leaving Dreaming my life away But if you see my name in the headlines And they're all pissing on me I'm your stepdad And I know they say I'm frail and broken But you can't treat your mom that way
