Merle Haggard lyrics - Running Kind

album: 18 Rare Classics (1991)
album: Hag-The Studio Recordings 1969-1976
album: A Working Man Can't Get Nowhere Today
album: Down Every Road
genre: 

I was born the running kind
with leaving always on my mind
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 a lesson
for the running kind

Within me there's a prison
surrounding me alone
As real as any dungeon with a wall of stone
I know running's not the answer
but running's been my nature
And a part of me 
that keeps me moving on

I was born the running kind
with leaving always on my mind
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 a lesson 
for the running kind
