G
I was born the running kind leaving always on my mind
C
Home was never home to me at anytime
D7
Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open
G
There just had to be an exit for the running kind
Within me there's a prison surrounding me alone
C
As real as any dungeon with a wall of stone
D7
I know running's not the answer but running's been my nature
G
And a part of me that keeps me moving on
I was born the running kind leaving always on my mind
C
Home was never home to me at anytime
D7
Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open
G
There just had to be an exit for the running kind
C F G7
Down every road there's always one more city
F G7 C
I'm on the run the highway is my home
F G7
I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
F G7 C
While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
F G7
Now I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways
F G7 C
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
F G7
I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
F G7
A fugitive must be a rolling stone
C F G7
Down every road there's always one more city
F G7 C
I'm on the run the highway is my home
F G7
I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
F G7 C
Of having one I love to come along
F G7
She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
F G7 C
For he who travels fastest goes alone
