I had disengaged to avoid being totaled 
I would run away and say good riddance soon enough 
I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling 
To imagining myself bolting had not been difficult 

Soon be my life
Soon be my pace 
Soon be my choice of which you’ll have no part of 

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west 
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! 
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

I hit the ground running although I know not what toward
I hit the town reeling forgetting all that came before
I felt primed and ready unsurrounded by the pawns
I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not

This is my town
This is my voice 
This is my taste of what you’ve have no part of 

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west 
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! 
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

One day I’ll saddle back and speak of foreign adventures 
One day I’ll double back and tell you about these unfettered years 
One day I’ll look back and feel something other than relieved 
Glad that I left when I did before “no dear, you can’t” got the best of me 

When I’d speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward
When I’d speak of spirituality you label me absurd 
When I spoke of impossibility you would frown and shake your head 
If I had stayed much longer I’d have surely imploded 

These are my words
This is my house 
These are my friends of which you’ve had no part of

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west 
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! 
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed

Unprodigal Daughter and I’m heading for the west 
Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough
Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! 
I’d invite you but I’m busy being unoppressed
