Well I've lived and breathed and been disbelieved
in
these small town streets too long
I've been up with the winners and down with the
sinners
And hung on this corner 'til dawn
And my hands they have been tied
To a life
I've been denied
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And workin' from nine to
five
By the end of the day, all the kids would go play
And I'd come staggering
home
With a dream in my hand and a master plan
That wouln't leave my mind alone
I
compromised all my schemes
And flucturated all my dreams
I'm just a small town boy bein'
used like a toy
And nothing is like it really seems
(bridge)
But you must
believe that when I walk down the tracks
The young girls fall back and say
There goes that
sleek young silhouette
He don't drive no Corvette
But he stings just like a Sting
Ray
And that's my only redemption in this house of detention
That keeps me from simply
blowin' it all away
'Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
I say, God
don't take this away
I keep hopin' and wishin' that these romantic positions
Gonna
help me hide my pain
And all the hurt that I've felt underneath my leather studded belt
Of
not finding fortune and fame
But some day I'll blow 'em away with the things that I may sing
and
might say
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And waitin' for my pay
dirt day
I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
And waitin' for my pay day | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
