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 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 Runnin' faster, faster all the time

You're under age and God knows that's a crime Runaway boys, runaway boys

Runaway boys, runaway boys

Runaway boys
