B.J. Thomas - Send My Picuture To Scranton, Pa Lyrics

Send my picture to Scranton, PA

Write them and say I'm the kid they used to laugh at
Send my picture along with the news of all the good things I've done
Since they said nothing good ever would become of me
They were so sure, let them know just how wrong they all can be

Get someone to paste my picture all over the walls
In all the halls of the school I used to go to
I was mixed up and kind of confused
No one around to took the time to find out

What was wrong and to try to understand, they ignored me
Maybe now they'll give kids a helping hand
That's how it really ought to be, not like the way it was with me

Well, no one there ever tried to understand, they ignored me
Maybe now they'll give kids a helping hand
I hope to God they cast aside so I went out and really tried
Now they can point to me with pride
