Hit The Ground Running

I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folk there

Now I don?t know where I?m going

All I know is I?ll hit the ground running

Only cowboys and southern gentlemen

Betting women that will never mend

They ride the roads as they bend

As they bend to their dead ends

I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folk there

And now I don?t know where I?m going

All I know is I?ll hit the ground running

I was raised in a pit of snakes

Blink your eyes, I was raised on cake

I couldn?t memorize a century of slang

Or learn to tell the same story

Again and again and again, oh

I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folk there

Now I don?t know where I?m going

All I know is I?ll hit the ground running

The bitterness is a lowest sin

A bitter man rots from within

I?ve seen his smile, yellow and brown

The bitterness is rotting down

I had to leave the country

Though there was some nice folk there

Now I don?t know where I?m going

All I know to do is hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Hit the ground running

Hit the ground running
