Album: Sound Elixir (1983)

Whippin' Boy

Trains, running through the town
Missed my turn around
Trains, got to break away
Got to leave today
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
I think it¡¯s time for a change
Strange, it¡¯s always been the same
It¡¯s never you to blame
Chains, drag me to the ground
But no one turns around
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
I think it¡¯s time for a change
Names, numbers on your wall
But I¡¯m not gonna fall
Games, I¡¯m tired of playin¡¯ clown
Another side show is leavin¡¯ town
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
I think it¡¯s time for a change.
