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

[00:00:01] Composed by：Joe Purdy

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:17] Tommy went elsewhere

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:03:35] Out to Las Vegas

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:22] Just like I swore

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

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

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

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

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

[00:04:47] Lost in the dark

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

[00:04:56] Oh but we never

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

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

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

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