 G                    C
 I had disengaged to avoid being totalled 
 G                     F                       G
 I would run away and say good riddance soon enough 
 G                     C                       G
 I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling 
 G                     F                       G
 To imagine myself bolting had not been difficult 
 
 G          C      G         F      G         C         G                 F
 Soon be my life  Soon be my pace  Soon be my choice of which you'll have no part of 
 
 G                            C
 Unprodigal daughter, and I'm heading for the west 
 G                            F
 Disenchanted daughter, and this plane cannot fly fast enough 
 G                            C 
 Unencumbered daughter, you've abandoned me at last
 G                            F
 I'd invite you, but I'm busy  Being unoppressed 
 
 
 (SAME CHORDS THAN VERSE 1)
 I hit the ground running although I know not what toward 
 
 I had flipped starringly forgetting all that came before 
 
 I felt prime and ready unsurrounded by the pawns
 
 I felt culture shocked but dissuaded, I was not 
 
 
 This IS my town / This is my voice / This is my taste of which you've had no part of 
 
 
 Chorus ( SAME CHORDS THAN CHORUS1 )
 
 
BRIDGE : in E major; magnificent rock:
 
E
One day I'll settle back and speak of foreign adventures  
E
One day I'll double back and tell about absurdities 
E
One day will look back and feel something other than relieved 
E
Glad that I left when I did before you got the best of me 
 
 
(SAME CHORDS THAN FORMER VERSES)
When I'd speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward  
 
When I'd speak of spirituality you would label me absurd 
 
 When I spoke of possibility you would frown and shake your head 
 
 If I had stayed much longer, I'd have surely imploded 
 
 
These are my words  This is my house  These are my friends of which you've had no part of 
 
 
Chorus x2
