[DARREL, spoken]
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home

[PONYBOY, sung]
I've never been out of Tulsa before
I wonder what it would be like
I’ve never known anybody to leave
Most people get stuck here for life
I used to glorify how Cool Hand Luke was free
He wasn't tied to anything
I used to idolize the actors on the screen
I looked to Newman like a king
And now I look at what my brothers do for me
They're the reason that I’m standing here right now
One thing is certain, I can say without a doubt
Those heroes paved the way so I could finally make it out

Darrel, you're the toughest guy I know
Just took me way too long to see
Soda, you're this family's heart and soul
Can you imagine how proud Mom and Dad would be?

[SODAPOP, spoken]
I could picture hundreds and hundreds of boys living on the wrong side of cities. Boys with black eyes who jumped at their own shadows. Hundreds of boys who maybe watched sunsets, who looked at stars and ached for something better

[PONYBOY, sung]
And now I'm thinking 'bout the Dallys of the world
Always on the outside looking in
Bruises on their eyes, wearing grease for their disguise
Trying to look tough so they're not beaten down again
