| Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
|
| Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
|
| Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
|
| Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, 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 under age and God knows that’s a crime
|

| Runaway boys, runaway boys
