lyrics

SAD AND 17 (LITTLE RUNAWAY)

I was sad and 17, like I figure you must be
When I ran away from home
Had to prove I was all grown up
Gonna make it on my own, oh yeah

I thought I was wasting time
And life was passing me by
Used to think I was pretty tough
Now I know you’re never tough enough
Someone will get to you

Well if you knew now what I know now
What you’ll be finding out
You wouldn’t be here talking to me
No you’d be getting out of here, little runaway

Welcome to the street, I hope you make it
Here’s some good advice, I hope you take it
Get yourself back home before you start finding out
What this life out on the street is really all about
Little runaway

When you’re sad and 17
You don’t know that you’re still green
Give yourself a year, that’s all it’s gonna take
And your little heart is gonna break, break it right in two
Once they get you where they want you, you never can get free
Every night is one too many ‘til you can never leave
Take a good look at me, little runaway

Do you have a place to hide when the evening comes undone ?
When you’re out here on your own there’s no place left to run
And there’s no one here to hold you when your world just falls apart
That’s the price you have to pay -- you end up with no heart

Welcome to the street, I hope you make it
Here’s some good advice, I hope you take it
Get yourself back home before you start finding out
What this life out on the street is really all about
Hey Hey Runaway Hey Hey Little runaway
