I'm Not Running Away

I'm not running away I'm just running

I never could sit still for very long

It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder

It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song

I always did like running I never did know why

Maybe it's the closest thing a man can get to flying

Always liked the deep end Cool and dark and blue

but I never meant for you to think that I was trying to get away

from you

I'm not running away I'm just running

I never could sit still for very long

It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder

It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song

I always liked the mountains I never did know why

Maybe be it's the closest that a man can get up to the sky

I always have been restless Packed and set to move

but I never meant for you to think that I was trying to get away

from you

I'm not running away I'm just running

I never could sit still for very long

It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder

It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song

In another life I might have lived down by the ocean

Instead of all this constant motion

I'm not running away I'm just running

I never could sit still for very long

It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder

It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song
