Runaway Children - Joe Purdy[00:00:00]

Composed by：Joe Purdy[00:00:01]

I was born an only child[00:00:16]

On a warm Jersey night[00:00:24]

My mother was a dressmaker[00:00:32]

My father drove a truck[00:00:36]

My family never was much good[00:00:40]

When it came to money-luckno[00:00:44]

Me and my best friend took to stealing[00:00:55]

When we were only 16[00:00:59]

And one year in the County jail[00:01:03]

Made a man out of Tommy and me[00:01:07]

We caught the train to New York[00:01:19]

We thought we were so tough[00:01:23]

We started fighting for quick cash[00:01:27]

We decided we didn't need the money that bad[00:01:31]

We were the runaway children[00:01:43]

Always lost in the dark[00:01:47]

Trying to forget where we came from[00:01:51]

Trying to make a new start[00:01:55]

Oh but it was so hard[00:01:58]

Earned my first honest dollar[00:02:09]

Workin' at the mill outside of town[00:02:12]

Tommy went elsewhere[00:02:17]

Never did like the sound of a poor man cryin'[00:02:20]

Tommy got mixed up with people[00:02:32]

The kind of people you just don't get mixed up with[00:02:36]

And they beat him so bad he[00:02:40]

He almost didn't live to regret it[00:02:44]

Uh thank God he did[00:02:50]

We were the runaway children[00:02:56]

Still lost in the dark[00:03:00]

Trying to forget where we came from[00:03:04]

Trying to make a new start[00:03:08]

Oh but it was so hard so hard it was just so hard[00:03:12]

But Tommy moved eight years ago[00:03:30]

Out to Las Vegas[00:03:35]

Now he sweeps the floors in the casinos[00:03:38]

Oh and he gambles when he's able[00:03:42]

When will he ever learn[00:03:46]

When will he ever learn[00:03:50]

And me I went back home[00:03:54]

Oh and I made it just in time[00:03:58]

To say I'm sorry for what I'd done[00:04:02]

Right before my mother died[00:04:06]

Now I drive a truck[00:04:18]

Just like I swore[00:04:22]

But I need the money worse than I need the luck[00:04:26]

I know my old man just did the best that[00:04:30]

He could with what he had[00:04:33]

It's funny the things we finally learn how to have of[00:04:36]

We were just runaway children[00:04:43]

Lost in the dark[00:04:47]

Trying to forget where we came from[00:04:51]

Oh but we never[00:04:56]

We never made it that farnever[00:04:59]

Never made it that far[00:05:03]

Oh it's still so hard[00:05:07]

It's still so hard[00:05:11]
