Lyrics Running - Whiskey Myers

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'
