E 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 A Who can I turn to and where can I stay? I heard a place is open all night and all day C There's a place you can go where the cops don't know Em You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child Chorus: E 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 Chorus: Runaway boys F# E Runnin' faster, faster all the time A C G You're under age and God knows that's a crime 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?
