lyrics

Sonny walked away
A work release program
At the Huron County jail
The deputies were on his trail

(chorus)

Don’t expect much money
There’s no money in your roots.
Can’t pull yourself up by the bootstraps
If you ain’t got any boots.
We sleep and they live
That’s the way it’s always been.
Sonny I hope you make it home
Back to Cass City Michigan.

Sonny was a small town kid
No one thought he’d amount to much
Sonny while you’re on the lamb,
I hope you’ll stay in touch.

Sonny’s runnin. Sonny’s runnin.
First he is tri-city bound
Then gonna hop a bus to chi-town

All the moms on Sonny’s block
have blue stars on their door.
If you can’t go to college
then you might as well go to war
