On the Run

[Chorus]
On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wondering who’s got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run
I won't stop 'til I’m dead and gone
Heading out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

[Verse 1]
Oh my mother was a daughter of a farmer and his land
She was looking for the good life
She left home looking for a good man
My father was the first born to a holy and religious man
He was looking for a good wife
When he took my mother's hand

[Chorus]
On the run, on the run (Oh on the run)
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wondering who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run (On the run, on the run)
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Heading out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Well this place that I've been living
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’s God's gift to man
And he wants me to see the light
I just wanna see the land

[Chorus]
On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It’s got me wondering who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run (On the run)
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Heading out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow

[Bridge]
All of my life I’ve been wondering where I belong (Ah)
Wondering when my time will come
Ooh, look what life it ain't half quite as good as it sounds
Turn around and I wanna run

[Verse 3]
But I don't know where I'm going
I'm just trying to figure it out then
Got to hold on tight (Go to hold on tight)
Just right to the bitter end (Right into the 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
I'm gonna live before I go

[Chorus]
On the run, on the run
Like a real son of a gun
It's got me wondering who's got money I can borrow
On the run, on the run (On, on the run)
I won't stop until I'm dead and gone
Heading out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow
Heading out of my hometown like there was no tomorrow
Woo hoo hoo
Heading out of my hometown
Ah yeah
