Runnin'

Son, I been runnin' for a long time, Been jumpin' o'er ditches and jukin' land minds Up hills and through dark alleys, I been I managed to dodge some pitfalls and quicksand along the way But I ain't yet tired Runnin', just runnin' to be free Runnin', runnin' to truly be I been runnin' Runnin' in the night, with no lights Through the mud, with no boots And in the sun and rain, too I been runnin', son But I ain't yet tired My legs ain't what they used to be They ache a 'lil more these days and they don't bend like they used to But I still got some runnin' to do So, this run I must continue 'cause I ain't yet tired Now, you keep runnin', too And make sure to watch out for the ditches, quicksand and booby traps And keep your head up during your run And don't you quit; run on 'til your race is done
