    "Running Kind"

    I was born the running kind
    With leaving always on my mind
    Home was never home to me at anytime
    Every front door found me hopin'
    I would find the back door open
    There just had to be an exit
    For the running kind

    Within me there's a prison
    Surrounding me alone
    As real as any dungeon with walls of stone
    I know running's not the answer
    But running's been my nature
    And a part of me
    That keeps me moving on

    I was born the running kind
    With leaving always on my mind
    Home was never home to me at anytime
    Every front door found me hopin'
    I would find the back door open
    There just had to be an exit
    For the running kind ♫


    I'm A Lonesome Fugitive"

    ♫Down every road there's always one more city
    I'm on the run, the highway is my home
    I raised a lot of cane back in my younger days
    While Mama used to pray my crops would fail
    I'm a hunted fugitive with just two ways:
    Outrun the law or spend my life in jail

    I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
    A fugitive must be a rolling stone
    Down every road there's always one more city
    I'm on the run, the highway is my home

    I'm lonely but I can't afford the luxury
    Of having one I love to come along
    She'd only slow me down and they'd catch up with me
    For he who travels fastest goes alone

    I'd like to settle down but they won't let me
    A fugitive must be a rolling stone
    Down every road there's always one more city
    I'm on the run, the highway is my home

    I'm on the run, the highway is my home♫

    It's All In The Movies

    ♫They were so much in love with life, happy in every way
    But love the movie began with, some how got lost in the play
    Like a fire burning out of control,
    You got caught up in the actor's role,
    And you cried on my shoulder when it came to an end
    But that's all in the movies,
    It won't happen to you and I
    That's all in the movies so baby don't cry
    It's all in the movies
    It won't happen to us I know
    It's all in the movies,
    Just a bad picture show
    That's all in the movies
    It won't happen to you and I
    That's all in the movies so baby don't cry
    It's all in the movies
    It can happen to us I know
    It's all in the movies,
    Just a bad picture show♫
