Runaway Boys

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn

Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born

Throw your clothes into a duffle bag

Shoutin' as ya slam the door, the hope, it's a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay?

I heard a place is open all night and all day

There's a place you can go where the cops don't know

You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Your hair is all greasy and you feel like a slob

You're only fifteen and you can't get a job

Run into the luncheonette and shoot a few games

Losing all your quarters, man, it's always the same

Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy

Slip into the alley with the runaway boys

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster

Faster all the time

You're underage and God knows that's a crime

Get kicked out for coming home at dawn

Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born

Throw your clothes into a duffle bag

Shoutin' as ya slam the door, the hope, it's a drag

Who can I turn to and where can I stay?

I heard a place is open all night and all day

There's a place you can go where the cops don't know

You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys

Runnin' faster

Faster all the time

You're underage and God knows that's a crime
