If I’ve got to run instead of feeling proud
If I’ve got to find you in a big wide crowd
No doubt the country side is waiting for me
There ain’t no answer to what I say.

Now that I’ve found my soul I’m free
Back to the highway that’s calling me
There must be reasons why I’ve got to hide
There ain’t no answer to what I say

I’m standing alone my money’s all gone
So throw me a gun and teach me to run
I’m standing alone my money’s all gone
So throw me a gun and teach me to run

Here I stand I’m a wanted man
Living in the shadows wherever I can
There must be reasons why I’ve got to hide
There ain’t no answer to what I say.
