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