[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus 1]

If my ride ain't here, then it's coming

I can feel it not so far away

And I know you're angry, youngen

Dry your eyes up

Or you won't see

Big dog walking away

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

I'll tell you how I got to Memphis

Saw your mum on a TV show and that was that

Both my bags were packed

[Verse 4]

I could put you to sleep just by reading

Turn the living room into an avalanche

I loved to make you laugh

[Pre-Chorus 2]

If the paps ain't here, then they're comin'

I can hear their flashes blast away

And I know you're tired, youngen

Time to wise up

Or you won't see

What your dad does for pay

[Chorus]

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 mum that way
