Hit the Ground Runnin' Songtext
von Reckless Kelly

W. Braun

My thoughts are out the door, my words about to pour
The boots are on the boat, I′m gonna hit the ground runnin'
My eyes are up ahead, I′m lonely in this bed
My home is in my head, I'm gonna hit the ground runnin'.

My choices have been made, my dues have all been paid
I gotta burn before I fade, I′m gonna hit the ground runnin′
I be runnin' when I hit the ground.

I don′t turn my porch light on when I leave home
'Cause I′m gone a lot and I ain't got nothing to steal.

I don′t kiss my baby goodbye
See, I got no baby 'cause I'm gone a lot and I don′t know how to deal
And I keep looking for something that′s real.

Goin' out on the road, gonna ramble all over America
I was born on the run and I′m never gonna settle down
Baby, I'm on a roll, rollin′ all over America
And when the sun comes up, honey, I'll be running when I hit the ground.

I don′t set my suitcase down when I get to town
'Cause I'm gone a lot and I know I′ll be leaving real soon.


And I don′t know just where I'm bound
But someday I′ll come back around and you know I'll be looking for you
Yeah, I′m sure to be looking for you.

Goin' out on the road, gonna ramble all over America
I was born on the run and I′m never gonna settle down
Baby, I'm on a roll, rollin' all over America
When the sun comes up, honey, I′ll be running when I hit the ground.

All I need′s this old guitar, she seen a lot of miles
And she makes me a living but she ain't made me a star.

So I gotta keep my mail, take a drive
She′s a six string box, ain't worth a lot of money but she keeps this boy alive
Yeah, she keeps this boy alive.

I′m goin' out on the road, gonna ramble all over America
I was born on the run and I′m never gonna settle down
Baby, I'm on a roll, rollin' all over America
When the sun comes up, honey, I′ll be running when I hit the ground.

I′m gonna hit the ground runnin'
I′m gonna hit the ground runnin'
I′m gonna hit the ground runnin'
I′m gonna hit the ground runnin'.
