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

For 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

And as hard as they would try, they'd hurt to make you cry

But you'd never cry to them, just to your soul

No, you'd never cry 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 boy, cry, cry boy, cry boy, cry, cry boy

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

Cry boy, cry, cry boy, 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

Run away, turn away, run away, turn away, run away
