Send My Picture To Scranton, Pa. - B. J. Thomas

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
