E
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

A
Who can I turn to, where can I stay? I heard a place is open all night and all day

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

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

[Verse 2]

     E
Your hair's all greasy and you feel like a slob, you're only fifteen and you can't get a job

Run into the luncheon and shoot a few games, losing all your quarters, man it's always the same

A                                                                                  E
Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy, slip into the alley with the runaway boys    Runaway boys

[Bridge]
