Hit The Ground Runnin'

My thoughts are out the door, my words about to pour

The boots are on the boat, I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'

My eyes are up ahead, I'm lonely in this bed

My home is in my head, I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'

My choices have been made, my dues have all been paid

I gotta burn before I fade

I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'

I be runnin' when I hit ground

I don't turn my porch light on when I leave home

'Cause I'm gone a lot and I ain't got nothing to steal

I don't kiss my baby goodbye

See, I got no baby 'cause I'm gone a lot

And I don't know how to deal

And I keep looking for something that's real

Goin' out on the road

Gonna ramble all over America

I was born on the run

And I'm never gonna settle down

Baby, I'm on a roll

Rollin' all over America

And when the sun comes up, honey

I'll be running when I hit the ground

I don't set my suitcase down when I get to town

'Cause I'm gone a lot and I know I'll be leaving real soon

And I don't know just where I'm bound

But someday I'll come back around

And you know I'll be looking for you

Yeah, I'm sure to be looking for you

Goin' out on the road

Gonna ramble all over America

I was born on the run

And I'm never gonna settle down

Baby, I'm on a roll

Rollin' all over America

When the sun comes up, honey

I'll be running when I hit the ground

All I need's this old guitar

She seen a lot of miles

And she makes me a living

But she ain't made me a star

So I gotta keep my mail, take a drive

She's a six string box, ain't worth a lot of money

But she keeps this boy alive

Yeah, she keeps this boy alive

I'm goin' out on the road

Gonna ramble all over America

I was born on the run

And I'm never gonna settle down

Baby, I'm on a roll

Rollin' all over America

When the sun comes up, honey

I'll be running when I hit the ground

I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'

I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'

I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'

I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'
