|
| Mom and Dad cursed the day you were born,
|
| Throw your clothes into a duffle bag
|
| Shoutin' as ya slam the door home is a drag
|
| Who can I turn to and where can I stay?
|
| I heard a place is open all night and all day
|

| You’re only fifteen and you can’t get a job,
|
| Go 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
|
| Runnin' faster, faster all the time
|
| You’re under age and God knows, that’s a crime !
