Lyrics

I was born the runnin’ kind
Leavin’ always on my mind
And home was never home to me at anytime
Every front door found me hopin’
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit for the runnin’ kind
Within me there’s a prison surroundin’ me alone
As real as any dungeon with a wall of stone
I know runnin’s not the answer but runnin’s been my nature
And a part of me that keeps me movin’ on
But I was born the runnin’ kind
Leavin’ always on my mind
And home was never home to me at anytime
Every front door found me hopin’
I would find the back door open
And a part of me that keeps me movin’ on
Down every road there’s always one more city
I’m on the run
The highway is my home
Well I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days while Mama used to pray my crops would fail
And now I’m a hunted fugitive with just two ways
Outrun the law or spend my life in jail
I’d like to settle down but they won’t let me
A fugitive must be a rollin’ stone
Down every road there’s always one more city
I’m on the run
The highway is my home
