Whippin' Boy - Nazareth

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
