Lyrics

I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Eccentric posing is allowed
And I can play the music loud
I'm gonna abuse my brand new pad
My lousy manners are OK

I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
I entertain my rancid date
And she can hang around till late
Oh boy

Away from home
I got a place of my own
Away from home
I got a place of my own

And I don't have to hide the fumes
So I don't have to clean my room
And I don't have to hide my toys
Won't hide my dealings oh boy

I finally got away from home
I got apartment of my own
Not sure exactly 'bout the rent
My weekly pay won't even dent

Away from home
I got a place of my own
Away from home (I can't believe it, I'm going crazy)
I got a place of my own (My own pad)

Away from home (You guys won't believe what I get up to)
I got a place of my own
Away from home (This is the best bit...)
I got a place of my own

Away from home
I got a place of my own (I can't believe it)
Away from home (All I need is some money to spend now)
I got a place of my own (Pick up a girl, bring her on home to my pad)

Away from home (Turn up my stereo loud)
I got a place of my own
Away from home (And then adjourn to the bedroom)
I got a place of my own
