You quit school age twelve 
I was almost seven 
And quite impressed by your 
Intelligence 
Obviously you 
Already knew 
All that there was to know 
And were free to go 

Fourteen years old 
Boy, you sure could drive 
And sometimes you'd let me sit 
Right by your side 
Some years later on 
We would sit and drink 
I saw how you unwrapped 
Your disappearing act 

You know I always looked up to you, I admired you 
I'm not a kid I could kid 
I won't kid myself 
Hard as I try those are just stale emotions now 
So I might as well lead them into their end 
Please let it end 

You walked your own way 
I respect you for that 
Here everything looks the same 
To eyes untrained 
Good morning sun 
Open up the streets 
I'm thinking which record to 
Put on repeat 

You know I always looked up to you, I admired you 
But I'm not some kid I could kid 
I won't kid myself 
I will do what it takes to climb out of these days 
I will change, I'll behave 
Or at least I'll behave 
Yes I'll behave 

Hell yes, I always looked up to you, I admired you 
But I'm not some kid I could kid 
I won't kid myself 
Yes, I'll do what it takes to climb up from these days 
I will change, I'll behave 
But at least I must say: 
I'm not for sale 

Run sister run 
You are free to go
