Always on the Run

James Iha


My mama said 
That your life is a gift 
And my mama said 
There's much weight you will lift 
And my mama said 
Leave those bad boys alone 
And my mama said 
Be home before the dawn 
And my mama said 
You can be rich or poor 
But my mama said 
You can be big or small 
But I'm always on the run 
My mama said 
That it's good to be truthful 
But my mama said 
Don't take more than a mouthful 
And my mama said 
That it's good to be natural 
And my mama said 
That it's good to be factual 
But I'm always on the run 
My mama said 
Baby don't ride that crazy horse 
And my mama said 
You must push with much force 
And my mama said 
Go get all that your after 
And my mama said 
That love's all that matters 
But I'm always on the run
