Old Man Markley - Running Weight Lyrics

Driving 15 hours, push my body to the brink
The only friend come with me is the coffee that I drink
Hope I don't find trouble, hope it goes real easy
Cause I ain't the kind for fighting - blood and guts, they make me queasy
I'm paranoid

I'm paranoid
When you're running this much weight, you can't avoid
Getting paranoid
Worries crash into me like an asteroid

Driving deep into the woods, trees taller than the hills
Ain't no turning back now, on my mind are all those bills
I'm just the same as anyone, underneath that mighty sun
I've never been one for working, rather make another run
I'm paranoid

Paranoid
When you're running this much weight, you can't avoid
Getting paranoid
Worries crash into me like an asteroid

Now I'm filled up to the brim with that finest Northern green
And I'm starting down the road, heading back where I have been
One eye watching my top speed
The other looking round
Cause one flicker from the sirens
And I'm surely prison bound
I'm paranoid

I'm paranoid
When you're running this much weight, you can't avoid
Getting paranoid
Worries crash into me like an asteroid
I'm getting paranoid
A little bit paranoid
Paranoid
Getting paranoid
(I just can't avoid) getting paranoid
