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 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
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`s all greasy and you feel like a slob,
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 !
Runaway boys
