	Well I've lived and breathed and been disbelieved						Well I've lived and breathed and been disbelieved
	In these small town streets too long						In these small town streets too long
	I've held nothin' but aces and been many places						I've held nothin' but aces and been many places
	And hung on the corner 'til dawn						And hung on the corner 'til dawn
1	But my hands they have been tied						But my hands       have been tied	1
	To a life I've been denied						To a life I've been denied
	I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy						I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
	And workin' a nine to five						And workin' a nine to five
	Well I worked like a fool 'til after done with high school						Well I worked like a fool 'til after done with high school
	Just to form a rock and rollin' band						Just to form a rock and rollin' band
	But the streets were exploding and my life I was decoding						But the streets were exploding and my life I was decoding
	Had a dream I couldn't understand						Had a dream I couldn't understand
2	And but I work it out everyday						And      I work it out everyday	2
	For no fun and very little pay						For no fun and very little pay
3	I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy						I'm just a smal town boy bein' used like a toy	3
	And doin' what other people say						And doin' what other people say
	Well I've drooled and fooled and been ridiculed						Well I've drooled and fooled and been ridiculed
	For havin' dreams just above my reach						For havin' dreams just above my reach
	And I've lied and died and tried suicide						And I've lied and died and tried suicide
	For all the things you people wanna preach						For all the things you people wanna preach
	But I always had to turn the other way						But I always had to turn the other way
4	When I heard those home folks say						When I heard those homefolks        say	4
5	They say, "You're just a small town boy bein' used like a toy						(They say) You're just a small town	5
6	And livin' on       a day to day"						boy bein' used like a toy	6
3							And livin' on a day to day	3
	But you must believe that when I walk down the tracks						But you must believe that when I walk down the tracks
7	All those young girls fall back and they say						All those young girls fall back and       say	7
8	"There goes that sleek young silhouette						There goes that sleek young silhouette	8
9	He don't drive no Corvette but he stings just like a Sting Ray"						He don't drive no Corvette	9
4							but he stings just like a Sting Ray	4
	And that's my only redemption in this house of detention						And that's my only redemption in this house of detention
	That keeps me from simply blowin' it all away						That keeps me from simply blowin' it all away
	'Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat						'Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
10	I say, "God don't take this away"						I say, God don't take this away	10
	Well by the end of the day, all the kids would go play						Well by the end of the day, all the kids would go play
	And I'd come staggering back home						And I'd come staggering back home
11	With those dream in my hand and a master plan						With a dream in my hand and a master plan	11
	That wouldn't leave my mind alone						That wouldn't leave my mind alone
	Well I compromised all my schemes						Well I compromised all my schemes
	And I fluctuated all my dreams						And I fluctuated all my dreams
12	But I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy						I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy	12
	And nothing is like it really seems						And nothing is like it really seems
	But what a fool I must seem to have all these dreams						But what a fool I must seem to have all these dreams
	And try to live them all through						And try to live them all through
13	It's like a slap on your face, with a mercury chrome taste						It's like a slap in your face, with a mercurochrome         taste	13
14	When the dream, the dream is long overdue						When the              dream is long overdue	14
	And it seems kinda strange that nobody came						And it seems kinda strange that nobody came
	To the game that I have put myself through						To the game that I have put myself through
	And when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat						And when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
15	I say, "What the hell can I do?"						I say, what the hell can I do	15
	Well I keep hopin' and wishin' that these romantic positions						Well I keep hopin' and wishin' that these romantic positions
	Gonna help me hide all this pain						Gonna help me hide all this pain
16	And all the hurt that I've felt underneath my leather studded belt						And all the hurt that I've felt	16
5							underneath my leather studded belt	5
	Of not findin' my fortune and fame						Of not findin' my fortune and fame
17	Some day I'll blow 'em away with the things that I sing and I say						Some day I'll blow 'em away with the	17
6							things that I sing and I say	6
	I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy						I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
	And waitin' on my pay day						And waitin' on my pay day
	I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy						I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
18	And waitin' on my pay day						And waitin' on my pay day	18
