you wanna run away yeah
You're on your way, runaway child,

Runaway child running wild
Better go back home

Verse 3
Bbm
Roaming through the city going nowhere fast,
where will you sleep?
You're gettin' kinda hungry,
you forgot to bring something to eat
Oh, lost with no money you start to cry
But remember, you left home wantin' to be grown,
Verse 4
so dry your weeping eyes
Bbm
Sirens screamin' down
neon lighted streets
You want your mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run
Are they looking for you?
You're frightened and confused
I want my mama
Run, run, run, run, run, run, run
But she's much too far away,
she can't hear a word you say
Verse 5
news on the radio
About little boys running
away from home
And the parents don't see them no more
You wanna stop to hitch a ride, I know
But your mama told you never
trust a stranger
And you don't know which way to go
Verse 6
F

not a sound nor sign of life
Oh how you long to hear your mother's voice,
'cause you're lost and alone
But remember, you made the choice,
runaway child, running wild
You better go back home where you belong
F
Bbm
He he he, oh, runaway child,
running wild
You better go back home
where you belong
You're lost in this great big city
Go back home where you belong
Not one familiar face, ain't it a pity
Go back home where you belong
Oh, runaway child running wild
You better go back home where you belong
Oh yeah, my girl
Mama, mama, please,
come and sit here by me
Oh but she's much too far away,
she can't hear a word you say
Oh, you're frightened and confused,
