Run Off to L.A
Kid Rock Lyrics

This here ain't no love song
This song is not about love or romance.

And it ain't for you
This song is not directed at you personally.

It's for the folks that relate to
This song is for people who can understand and identify with my situation.

What I've been going through
The difficult experiences I have been facing recently.

It's for the 40 hour overtime
This song is for the hardworking individuals who put in extra hours on the job.

Workin' man
Specifically for the men who work hard to provide for their families.

And too the good women out there
Also for the women who work hard and contribute to society in a positive way.

I know you'll understand
I believe that you will be able to empathize with my situation.

Why don't you run off to L.A.
Perhaps you should consider going to Los Angeles for a change of scenery.

And lose your mind
Let go of your worries and stress, and embrace the freedom to act without consequences.

And get some energy doctor to tell
Consult with a physician who can assess your overall health and well-being.

You everything is fine
Receive assurances that there is nothing to worry about and that everything is under control.

We can still be friends like you talk about
We can remain on good terms despite our differences and past conflicts.

But first give me back them pearls
Before we can proceed, I need you to return the valuable item you took from me.

And the keys to my fuckin house
As well as the access to my home, which I entrusted to you but no longer wish you to have.

Get out
Leave my life and never return.

They say all we need is just a little patience
People often advise that we simply need to wait and remain calm in order to solve our problems.

But what do you do when your woman
However, when the person causing our distress is our partner or significant other,

Is too high maintenance yea
And they are constantly requiring a lot of attention and resources,

I'm hatin to admit it
I am reluctant to confess,

Even if its your wife
Even if this person is your spouse or long-term partner,

Tell her pack your shit
It may be necessary to ask them to gather their belongings,

And take the first train out of my life
And permanently leave my life and our relationship behind.

It's a classic line baby
This is a well-known and often-used phrase,

I just want to be friends
Which usually means that the singer no longer wants to pursue a romantic relationship.

But baby my friends don't have the keys to my Mercedes Benz, no
However, the person who wants to remain friends cannot continue to have the same level of access or privileges.

I think I know what you mean
I understand what you are trying to say or hint at.

You want to talk and such
You wish to continue our friendship and keep communication open,

Tell me all your problems
And share your issues and concerns with me,

But we don't fuck
But we will no longer engage in any sexual activity or intimacy.

Ain't that right
Isn't that what you want as well?

I had plenty of friends before I met you
I was perfectly capable of having a fulfilling social life before we became involved.

I don't need no more
I don't need anymore friends or relationships that cause me distress,

So now I thinks its time you started headin out for that door
Therefore, I believe it's time for you to leave my life and move on,

And even tho I feel real bad tonight
Despite feeling guilty or regretful about the situation,

Please pack your shit
It's imperative for you to collect your personal belongings,

And take the first train out of my life
And leave my life for good, never to return.

Yea
Agreeing with the sentiment that it's time for the person to leave.

It's easy to see when you've lost your mind
It becomes quite clear when someone's behavior becomes erratic or irrational.

But here ill be when you decide to come back blind
Despite this, the artist is willing to take the other person back even if they are still making poor choices or behaving recklessly.

You were a midwest girl who says
When we first met, you identified as someone from the midwestern region of the United States,

She liked to drink beer and hang
You enjoyed simple pleasures like having a cold beer and spending time with friends.

And now your walkin red carpets talkin new york hip hop slang
Now, however, you seem to have adopted a very different lifestyle and persona that seems to be contrived and inauthentic.

And even though I might break down
Although it will be difficult and emotional for me,

And cry tonight
And I may shed tears in the immediate aftermath,

Please pack your shit
It's still necessary for you to gather your belongings,

And take the first train out of my life oh yea yea
And take the first opportunity to remove yourself from my life, once and for all.

You've got 15 minutes and
There is a limited amount of time that I am willing to put up with this negative behavior and harmful presence in my life.

I think your wasting time yea
You would be better off using this time to make a decision and take action.
