Lyrics

VERSE
Lookin’ like a speedin’ streak sprintin’ everywhere
Down the hill, through the creek, flyin’ through the air
Wonder what his hurry is doin’ all of that?
Wait! I think I know...

CHORUS
He’s runnin’ for the county line
He’s runnin’ outta time
Tryin’ to get a head start
Tryin’ to be head smart
Runnin,’ runnin,’ runnin’
Runnin,’ runnin,’ runnin’
From his heart

VERSE
They were on the love track but now he’s realized
It was Chevrolet to Cadillac before he blinked his eyes
Wonder why he keeps on runnin’ down the Interstate?
Hey, I think I know...

Repeat CHORUS/VERSE
He wants in; he wants out; whatever should he do?
He wishes that he had no doubt; oh, but he’s confused
Wonder where he thinks he’s goin’ that will help him out?
Wait! I think I know...

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Whenever he ran before, nobody chased him back
But, man, she’s gainin’ ground on him and that’s a serious fact

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS (2x)/TAG
Tryin’ to get a head start
Tryin’ to be head smart
Runnin,’ runnin,’ runnin’
Runnin,’ runnin,’ runnin’
From his heart
