Running

I love the smell of fresh-cut hay On both sides of the road Out here on the highway Just countin' power line poles And how the stars shine a little brighter When I'm outside of town I been running Oh, I been runnin', I ain't slowing down Runnin' all my life If I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin' Watching all these good times Keep on coming down the line Ain't gonna let them pass me by Oh, I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life Fast as I could, I left the old hometown in a cloud of dust I figured if I stuck around too long I might turn to rust With a bed roll, Buck knife, and two T-shirts In a gunny sack I took off runnin' Oh, I took off runnin' I ain't looking back Runnin' all my life If I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin' Just watching all these good times Keep on coming down the line Ain't gonna let them pass me by Oh, I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life Guess that I'll be runnin' all my life There's a girl just south of Houston Her true heart beats for me It takes a lot of patience, Lord To love a man this free Someday, I'm gonna make it home And lay in our warm bed Baby, I'm runnin' You know I'm runnin', if I ain't there yet Runnin' all my life If I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin' Just watching all these good times Keep on coming down the line Ain't gonna let them pass me by I keep runnin' all my life If I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin' Just watching all these good times Keep on coming down the line Ain't gonna let them pass me by Oh, I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life Guess that I'll be runnin' all my life Guess that I'll be runnin' all my life Woo! (C'mon, little boy!) Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin' Runnin'
