We Been Away

We grew tired of the water

We grew sleepy from the heat of the day

You broke your promises you said that we'd have fun

And all the rest you sent me here to stay

We been away

We been away

We been away yeah yeah

We been away

We're painted silly all red and black

She poured the whiskey down the sink

Caught our father cryin' now

We've chased him up the wall

It never even bothered us to think

We been away

We been away yeah

We been away yeah yeah

We been away

We been away

We been away

We been away yeah yeah

We been away

There's been hangin' in the kitchen

There's been talkin' 'bout things not to say

Goin' home now but that's no excuse

For anyone out there to want to stay

We been away

We been away

We been away yeah yeah

We been away

We been away

We been away

We been away yeah yeah

We been away
