[Intro ]
(A) I was born the running kind
With leaving always on my mind
Home was never home to me at (D) any time
Every (E) front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit for the (A) running kind
(A) Within' me there's a prison
Surrounding me alone
As real as any dungeon with these (D) walls of stone
I know (E) runnin's not the answer, but runnin's been my nature
And the part of me that keeps me movin' (A) on
Solo
(A) I was born the running kind
With leaving always on my mind
Home was never home to me at (D) any time
Every (E) front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit for the (A) running kind
