Running Away from Home

Watching the movie Teen Wolf put the notion in my head
 That being human's boring and I'd rather be a werewolf instead
 But knowing getting bit by one could be a difficult proposition
 I reckoned that the wilderness would improve this disposition
 So we lit out at dawn for the mountains in the distance
 My best friend Brandon along in tow no doubt from my insistence
 1985 was the year of our independence
 Two empty seats in a second grade class while the teachers calling attendance
 But there's no need to worry
 I've got everything I need
 A sandwich and a blanket
 And the will to succeed
 I'm heading towards the hills
 Where all the lone wolves roam
 So long momma, I'm running away from home
 In order to ensure a proper werewolf transformation
 My days before departure were spent researching Scholastic publication
 And according to my sources folklore lent it several options
 All of which I applied myself to their immediate adoption
 One of which involved drinking water from a werewolf footprint
 But since that wasn't handy I felt a dog's would be sufficient
 And when the full-moon changing never came I was left with one volition
 To pursue a pack of wolves to bring my dreams into fruition
 But there's no need to worry
 I've got everything I need
 I would have asked for your approval
 But I knew you'd never agree
 I'm heading towards the hills
 Where all the lone wolves roam
 So long momma, I'm running away from home
 And getting to the foothills would be a days worth of travel
 But getting spotted by adults would make my well-laid plans unravel
 And knowing we wouldn't make it far walking streets in broad daylight
 We walked the inner parts of canals to keep us out of sight
 The sun was near to setting and my plan was sitting pretty
 Brandon and I had one street left to reach the outskirts of the city
 Yet one small problem remained and left Brandon and I debating
 The portal that would lead us beneath the street was covered by metal grating
 But there's no need to worry
 We've got everything we need
 We can climb this chainlink fence
 And then you and I will be home free
 We're heading towards the hills
 Where all the lone wolves roam
 So long momma, I'm running away from home
 And just as we reached the top of the fence a squad car changed the setting
 The officer rolled down his window and asked where we were heading
 We pointed towards the mountains and he got a twinkle in his eye
 He said, "man, that's a long ways away boys, hop in, I'll give you a ride."
 But there's no need to worry
 I've got everything I need
 A sandwich and a blanket
 And the will to succeed
 I'm heading towards the hills
 Where all the lone wolves roam
 So long momma, I'm running away from home
