Songtext Running Whiskey Myers

Running

I love the smell of fresh cut hay on both sides of the road
Out here on the highway just counting power line poles
And how the stars shine a little brighter when I'm outside of town
I been running, oh, I'm runnin' I ain't slowing down

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 guess that I'll be runnin' all my life

Fast as I could I left the old home town in a cloud of dust
I figured if I stuck around to long I would turn to rust
With a bed roll buck knife and two t-shorts in a gunnysack
I took off runnin', oh, I took of runnin' never 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
I 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 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
Oh, I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life

Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'
Runnin'...
