Lyrics
Small Town Boy
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.
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
The love that you need will never be found at home
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Pushed around and kicked around always a lonely boy
You were the one that they'd talk about around town as they put you down
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
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry
(Cry, boy, cry)
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
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
