[G]
I was born the running kind, leaving all this on my mind.
And home was never home to me [C] at any time.
[D] Every front door found me hoping I would find the back door open.
There just had to be an exit [G] for the running kind.
Within me there's a prison surrounding me alone.
As real as any dungeon with [C] its walls of stone.
[D] I know running's not the answer, but running's been my nature.
And the part of me that keeps me [G] moving on.
I was born the leaving all this on my mind.
And home was never home to [C] me at any time.
Every [D] front door found me hoping I would find the back door open.
There just had to be an exit [G] for the running kind.

[G]
Down every road [C] there's always one [D] more road.
[C] I've always run the [D] highway as my [G] home.
I've raised a lot [C] of cane back [D] in my younger days.
[C] While mama used [D] to pray my crops [G] would fail.
Now I'm [C] a haughty fugitive [D] with just two ways.
[C] I'd 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.
[G] Down every [C] road there's always one [D] more city.
[C] I'm on the [D] running highway as [G] my home.
I'm a haughty fugitive with just two ways.
I'm on the running highway as my home.
I'm on the running highway as my home.
I'm on the running highway as my home.
