Lyrics
Smalltown (Come Home)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain on a sad
And lonely face
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
But the answers you seek
Will never be found at home
No the love that you need
Will never be found at home
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away
[x2]
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one that they talk about
Around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you never cried to them
Just to your soul
No, you never cried to them
Just to your soul
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away
[x2]
Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on home
We're worried
[x2]
Run away, turn away
Run away, turn away
Run away
[x3]
Johnny
Won't you come on home
Johnny
Won't you come on home
Johnny
We're sorry
Won't you come on home
We're worried
