[G]
I was part of the running kind, leaving all ways on my own.
Home was never home to [B] me [C] at any time.
Every [D] front door found me hoping I would find the back door.
There just had to be an exit for [G] the running kind.
Within me there's a prison, surrounding me along.
As real as any dungeon where [C] the walls long.
[D] I know running's not the answer, but running's been my nature.
And a part of me that keeps me [G] moving on.
Leaving all ways on my own.
Home was never home to [B] me [C] at any time.
[D] Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door.
There just had to be an exit for [G] the running kind.
[Dm] [C]
[D]
[G]
Down every road [C] there's always one [D] more city.
[C] The run [D] highway is [G] my home.
I raised a [C] lot of cane back in [D] my younger days.
[C] While mama used [D] to pray my crops [G] would fail.
Now [Dm] I'm a [C] hunted fugitive [D] with just two ways.
[C] I'll run the law [D] or spend my life [G] in jail.
I'd like to settle [C] down but they [D] won't let me.
[C] A fugitive must be a [D] rolling stone.
[E]
[G] Down every [Dm] road [C] there's always one [D] more city.
[C] The run [D] highway is my [G] home.
Thank
[C]
[D]
[C] [D]
[G]
you.
[Am]
