Real Life Blues

[00:09.24] At the age of eleven
[00:11.40] I planned my escape
[00:13.81] Carefully sorting the things I would take
[00:17.82] On my journey to somewhere
[00:20.33] Wherever that is
[00:22.64] And this oughta teach 'em to mess with the kid
[00:27.40] I stored enough food for an army or two
[00:31.38] I decided to take my dog
[00:34.78] Glad he could come along
[00:36.95] Father did not agree
[00:40.90] He stopped us before we could leave
[00:44.43] Oh, It was a genuine case of the real-life blues
[00:49.95] Some disappointed, mostly confused
[00:54.47] Wanting to leave here
[00:56.60] But, having to stay
[00:58.98] I'm no good at running away
[01:02.20] Hey!, I'm no good at running away
[01:14.49] With age in my favor
[01:16.56] I planned an affair
[01:19.05] Carefully rehearsing
[01:21.29] My come-hither stare
[01:23.20] To a picture of Lilly
[01:25.63] The homecoming queen
[01:28.11] This oughta teach them to mess with the kid
[01:32.56] I want you to know
[01:34.30] That I wanted her so
[01:36.47] I enrolled in biology
[01:39.39] Hated biology
[01:41.84] Before the moment of truth
[01:46.10] She and her family had moved
[01:49.42] Oh, It was a genuine case of the real-life blues
[01:54.90] Some disappointed, mostly confused
[01:59.32] Wanting my lady
[02:01.33] But, stuck with a frog
[02:03.60] Remember the part with my dog
[02:07.13] Hey!, I'm no good at running away
[02:11.86] Oh, It's the real-life blues
[02:15.00] Some disappointed, mostly confused
[02:19.33] Wanting to leave here
[02:21.42] But, having to stay
[02:23.86] I'm no good at running away
[02:27.12] Hey!, I'm no good at running away
[02:31.97] Oh, It's the real-life blues
[02:35.00] Some disappointed, mostly confused
[02:38.29]
