On The Run

On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wonderin' who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Headin' out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

Oh, my mother was a daughter of a farmer and his land
She was lookin' for the good life
She left home lookin' for a good man
My father was a firstborn to a holy and religious man
He was lookin' for a good wife
When he took my mother's hand

On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wonderin' who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Headin' out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

Well, this place that I've been livin'
The people are too much to stand
They don't know day from night
They don't know their left from right hand
The minister, he tells me he is God's gift to man
And he wants me to see the light
I just wanna see the land

On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wonderin' who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Headin' out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

All of my life I've been wonderin' where I belong
Wonderin' when my time will come
Ooh, the good life, it ain't half quite as good as it sounds
Turn around and I'm on the run

I don't know where I'm goin'
I'm just tryin' to figure where I've been
You got to hold on tight
Just ride to the bitter end
You tell me take it easy, tell me try
Won't you try to take it slow
Yeah, but isn't it a great life
Woo, I'm gonna live before I go

On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wonderin' who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Headin' out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

Headin' out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow
Woo-hoo-hoo
Headin' out of my hometown
Ah yeah
