about

Re-worked for my solo album "Inspiral Notebooks," this version is in a different key and was forgotten until I was looking for demo versions for this project!

lyrics

RUNNER

He was born under the sun and the first thing he saw was a brown, speckled horse
And the stars were aligned like and arrow in flight-he just knew that he had to go
They sang a song, don’t be long, make it back in one piece and show me how
And show me where

So I run and I run, ‘til my boots are undone, and my feet get wet
And I duck and I cover, and I stop drop and roll, then I do it again
And I run, and I run, like a man with a gun and fear in his eyes
He got fear in his eyes

Everyone under the sun wants to be on the run
Everybody just gotta to roll
They wanna go, rock and roll, gotta sing with your soul, it’s gonna be fine
But when you’re out on the side and it’s going right by keep your head up high
And don’t believe their lies
You can see it in her eyes
Wooohoohoohoo--Whoohoohoohooo!

Everyone under the sun wants to be on the run
Everybody just wants to roll
Till they came with the guns and they killed everyone
But still we’re waiting
And watching the skies for a trace of his guise
Gonna be there baby, wanna see that baby

And he died on the fly, still don’t know what he’d find
And that tribe kept waiting
Till they came with the guns and they killed everyone
But still we’re waiting
And watching the skies for a trace of his guise
I’m gonna be there baby, wanna see that baby

And I run and I run, ‘til my boots are undone, and my feet get wet
And I duck and I cover, and I stop drop and roll, then I do it again
And I run, and I run, like a man with a gun and fear in his eyes
He got fear in his eyes
Got fear in his eyes
wooohoohoohooo-woohoohoohooooo!
