Break Away

It is time for him to break away.

To find a place he can settle down;

Too many promises left to pay.

His you ng life is in such disarray,

Worst reputation in this small town;

It is time for him to break away.

Began at twelve when he ran away,

Turned his small family upside-down;

Too many promises left to pay.

Drove too reckless in his Chevrolet,

Reputation with police renown;

It is time for him to break away.

Brought his mother such utter dismay,

Engaging smile replaced with a frown;

Too many promises left to pay.

Starting over he can find his way,

End this perpetual tumble-down.

It is time for him to break away,

Too many promises left to pay.
