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