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 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
Runaway boys
Runnin' faster faster all the time
You're under age and god knows that's a crime
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
Well 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

Runnin' faster faster all the time
You're under age and god knows that's a crime
