Lyrics Alone Against the World - Adolescents
He
left
home
at
16,
the
days
go
by
like
years
He
didn't
get
much
schooling
but
he
learned
a
lot
on
the
road
He
knows
one
thing,
not
to
trust
no
one
but
himself
He
hopes
and
prays,
but
he
knows
his
days
are
numbered
Well,
he
hits
the
bottle
to
wipe
out
his
fears
But
no
one's
there
to
wipe
away
those
whiskey
tears
He's
alone
against
the
world
He
wonders
if
his
girl
back
home
is
missing
him
at
all
He'd
like
to
listen
to
her
voice
but
he's
too
poor
to
call
He
told
her
that
he's
send
for
her
if
he
could
get
ahead
By
now
she's
probably
given
him
up
for
dead
Night
after
night
he's
all
alone
Each
step
he
takes,
he's
farther
from
home
There's
no
one
to
help
him,
his
parents
don't
care
He
stumbles
through
life
on
a
wing
and
a
prayer
He
boards
a
bus
in
L.A.,
winds
up
in
New
Orleans
Bums
a
couple
of
cigarettes
from
a
sailor
in
the
depot
Steals
a
couple
of
purses
and
buys
himself
a
dingy
room
No
matter
where
he
stays,
he
knows
his
days
are
numbered
Well,
he
slams
the
needle
to
wipe
out
his
fears
But
there's
no
one
there
to
wipe
out
those
junkie
tears
He's
all
alone
against
the
world
He
wound
up
in
Raleigh
with
a
bullet
in
his
leg
'You
should
have
seen
the
other
guy'
as
all
he
had
to
say
Two
bits
away
from
help
but
he's
afraid
they
will
reuse
his
call
He
knows
his
days
are
numbered
Stranded
in
the
Midwest
and
he
don't
know
where
to
go
The
west
coast
cops
are
on
his
tail,
the
east
is
full
of
snow
He
thinks,
'4,
5,
6 more
years
of
this,
I'll
lose
my
head
And
a
few
more
years
of
crazy,
I'll
probably
end
up
dead
Oh
god,
I
wish
I
was
back
home
in
my
bed!'
Night
after
night
he's
all
alone
Each
step
he
takes
is
farther
from
home
There's
no
one
to
help
him,
his
parents
don't
care
He
stumbles
through
life
on
a
wing
an
a
prayer
(He's
crying,
He's
dying)
It
was
only
last
year
That
he
turned
seventeen
Now
this
ain't
the
life
That
a
young
boy
should
lead
He's
alone
against
the
world!
