Boz Scaggs - We Been Away Lyrics

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
