On the Run

Lyrics

[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
