These words rang out from the back of a motorbike
And I will never know
If it's just destiny or cowardice at play
Cause there's dread on the horizon
And every trail is a ball and chain
But I'll spin these wheels to alleviate the fray
(Where can I go)
When I'm out here on my own?
(I cannot stay)
Just to waste another day
(I'm leaving home)
To face the world alone
Without a trace left to my name
Another teenage runaway
These words rang out from your end of the telephone
For just your ears alone
A final note sent out a thousand miles away
As I'm shaking hands with strangers
And hopping off yet another train
I only hope that I have not been led astray
(Where can I go)
When I'm out here on my own?
(I cannot stay)
Just to waste another day
(I'm leaving home)
To face the world alone
Without a trace left to my name
Another teenage runaway
Another teenage runaway
Cause I get no satisfaction
From time spent thrown away
This restless "by and by" is not the life for me
I'm chasing new horizons
A hopeful overlay
I'm sure it doesn't matter anyway
(Where can I go)
When I'm out here on my own?
(I cannot stay)
Just to waste another day
(I'm leaving home)
To face the world alone
Without a trace left to my name
Another teenage runaway
(Where can I go)
When I'm out here on my own?
(I cannot stay)
Just to waste another day
(I'm leaving home)
To face the world alone
Without a trace left to my name
Another teenage runaway
