[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com[00:14.40]Well I've lived and breathed and been disbelieved
[00:17.94]In these small town streets too long
[00:22.23]I've held nothin' but aces and been many places
[00:26.28]And hung on the corner 'til dawn
[00:29.94]But my hands have been tied
[00:33.54]To a life I've been denied
[00:37.05]I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
[00:41.43]And workin' a nine to five
[00:54.18]Well I worked like a fool 'til after done with high school
[00:57.78]Just to form a rock and rollin' band
[01:01.23]But the streets were exploding and my life I was decoding
[01:05.04]Had a dream I couldn't understand
[01:08.49]And I work it out everyday
[01:12.21]For no fun and very little pay
[01:15.81]I'm just a smal town boy bein' used like a toy
[01:19.98]And doin' what other people say
[01:28.53]Well I've drooled and fooled and been ridiculed
[01:32.25]For havin' dreams just above my reach
[01:35.73]And I've lied and died and tried suicide
[01:39.36]For all the things you people wanna preach
[01:43.05]But I always had to turn the other way
[01:46.41]When I heard those homefolks say
[01:49.11]They say
[01:50.07]You're just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
[01:54.09]And livin' on a day to day
[02:03.00]But you must believe that when I walk down the tracks
[02:06.54]All those young girls fall back and say
[02:09.99]There goes that sleek young silhouette
[02:12.21]He don't drive no Corvette
[02:13.83]But he stings just like a Sting Ray
[02:17.07]And that's my only redemption in this house of detention
[02:21.15]That keeps me from simply blowin' it all away
[02:24.24]'Cause when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
[02:27.69]I say God don't take this away
[02:48.96]Well by the end of the day all the kids would go play
[02:52.89]And I'd come staggering back home
[02:56.04]With a dream in my hand and a master plan
[03:00.03]That wouldn't leave my mind alone
[03:02.97]Well I compromised all my schemes
[03:06.45]And I fluctuated all my dreams
[03:10.11]I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
[03:14.25]And nothing is like it really seems
[03:22.83]But what a fool I must seem to have all these dreams
[03:26.70]And try to live them all through
[03:29.85]It's like a slap in your face with a mercurochrome taste
[03:33.69]When the dream is long overdue
[03:37.08]And it seems kinda strange that nobody came
[03:40.71]To the game that I have put myself through
[03:44.28]And when I walk down the street in the hot summer heat
[03:47.73]I say what the hell can I do
[03:54.69]Well I keep hopin' and wishin' that these romantic positions
[03:58.32]Gonna help me hide all this pain
[04:01.74]And all the hurt that I've felt underneath my leather studded belt
[04:05.76]Of not findin' my fortune and fame
[04:09.24]Some day I'll blow 'em away with the things that I sing and I say
[04:15.63]I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
[04:19.82]And waitin' on my pay day
[04:23.16]I'm just a small town boy bein' used like a toy
[04:28.05]And waitin' on my pay day
