Smalltown Boy Lyrics by Autoheart

Punch

2012

[Verse 1]

You leave in the morning
With everything you own in a little black case
Alone on the platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

[Verse 2]
Mother will never understand
Why you had to leave
For the answer you seek
Will never be found at home
The love that you need
Will never be found at home

[Chorus]
Run away turn away
Run away turn away run away
Run away turn away
Run away turn away run away

[Verse 3]
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

[Bridge]
But you'd never cry to them
Just to your soul
No you'd never cry to them
Just to your soul

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
You leave in the morning
With everything you own in a little black case
Alone on the platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face

[Chorus]
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
