Lyrics Old Man Markley

Old Man Markley

Running Weight

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
