lyrics

She’s just another California kid from a broken home
Her stepfather won’t leave her alone
Her Dad is married to another cop
The child support payments just don’t stop
Mom she bought herself the local bar
Now stepfather doesn’t have to drink IN the car
She just wants to stay out with her friends and drive the town
And Mom doesn’t even notice she’s not around
Please don’t make me go home
Please don’t make me go home
Just another California kid from a valley town
Her stepbrother doesn’t want her around
Her teachers think she might be smart
or talented at art
There’s a boy working up the nerve
To act and not obverse
She just wants to stay out with her friends and drive the town
And Mom doesn’t even notice that she’s not around
Just another California kid with an attitude
Her family’s come quite unglued
Every night’s a bona fide horror show
But she’s got no place else to go
She just wants to stay out with her friends and drive the town
And Mom doesn’t even notice she’s not around
