Smalltown Boy

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

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

And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But 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 (crying to your soul)

Run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Run away, turn away, run away (crying to your soul)
Turn away, run away (crying to your soul)

Cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
Cry, boy, cry, boy, cry
