1. I was born the running kind with leaving always on my mind,
                                 G
    home was never home to me at anytime,
            A                 A7             A                 A7
    every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open,
                A           A7                   D
    there just had to be an exit for the running kind.

2. Within me there's a prison surrounding me alone,
                                     G
    as real as any dungeon with its walls of stone,
            A                A7        A                       A7
    I know running's not the answer, though, running's been my nature,
           A                A7            D
    and a thing in me that keeps me moving on.
