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
