Lyrics
The Runner
Words and Music by Jeff Jolly
© 1995
He’s a runner, he’s got not place to go
He’s a runner, baby, on and on he knows
Got a restless heart, it loves to beat the highway
Roads like veins burn in his brain for the choosing
Loves to keep his eyes in the sun and wind stiff in his sails
And riding down those rails going home
He likes the ladies but never gets too close
Just explains his situation and they’re on their own
He’s a runner, watch his tail lights fade
He just closes his eyes and points his finger and the choice is made
Loves to keep his eyes in the sun and wind stiff in his sails
And riding down those rails going home
He’s a runner, he’s got no place to go
He’s a runner, baby, on and on her knows
