RUNNIN'

Johnny got a job so he had to hit the city

He moved away from home though he didn't wanna do it

Happy where he was but he was promised lots of money

So he packed his bags now has stopped running

So many people sufferin', they're victims of themselves

So many sufferin', they're livin in they're own hell

So many wonderin' why they can't get out

Just runnin, runnin, runnin

The first taste of the apple when he bit in

It taste so sweet it felt a little gritty

But now there's no fruit on the tree

He's eaten them all but he still feels hungry

So many people sufferin', they're victims of themselves

So many sufferin', they're livin in they're own hell

So many wonderin' why they can't get out

Just runnin, runnin, runnin

Sufferin', They're livin' in their own hell

Jonny settled down from the city to a town where he used to be

Just a little boy with a big ol dream beneath the family tree

But now no one is around

With no time to slow down

To listen to an old man talk of who he used to be

So many wonderin' why they can't get out

Just runnin, runnin, runnin

So many people sufferin', they're victims of themselves

So many sufferin', they're livin' in they're own hell

So many wonderin' why they can't get out

Just runnin, runnin, runnin

Sufferin', They're livin' in their own hell
