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