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 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'
