Runaway boys
Who can I turn to and where can I stay ?
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same
Runaway boys, runaway boys
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child
Your hair is all greasy and you feel like a slob
Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Runaway boys
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
I heard a place is open all night and all day
Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag
Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child
You're under age and God knows that's a crime
Runnin' faster, faster all the time
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
Runaway boys, runaway boys
You're under age and God knows that's a crime
Runaway boys
Who can I turn to and where can I stay ?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Slip into the alley with the runaway boys
Run into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
