I love the smell of fresh cut hay on both sides of the road
Out here on the highway just counting power line poles
And how the stars shine a little brighter when I'm outside of town
I been running you know I'm runnin' I ain't slowing down
Runnin' all my life if i ain't driving I'm shotgunnin' just watching all these good times keep on coming down the line ain't gonna let them pass me by I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
Fast as I could I left the old home town in a cloud of dust
I figured if I stuck around to long I would turn to rust
With a bed roll buck knife and two t-shorts in a gunnysack i took off runnin' oh i took of runnin' never looking back
There's a girl just south of Houston her true heart beats for me it takes a lot of patience to love a man this free
Someday I'm gonna make it home and lay in our warm bed
Baby I'm runnin' you know I'm runnin' if I ain't there yet
