A kid
walks out to the side of the road
To watch the headlights come and go
He throws a rock up at the setting sun
And leaves the town that he came from
He's the running kind,
yeah the running kind
But the past is always close behind
For the running kind, yeah, the running kind
I knew this man, he had a perfect life
He called one day and told his wife
Don't wait up, I'll be working late
And they found his car
in another state
He's the running kind, yeah,
the running kind
Love is always a broken line
For the running kind, yeah,
the running kind
If there wasn't any red light, wasn't any green,
ain't nothin' to fear
Would you keep on runnin' in spite of yourself,
or find somewhere to stick around here
Lyin' in bed, listenin' to the big highway
Thinkin' of all the times
I've run away
Was I running from love or
just trying to get free
From something dark down in
side of me
I'm the running kind, yeah,
the running kind
And I stumble on the doorstep every time
I'm the running kind,
yeah the running kind
And the past is always close behind
I'm the running kind,
I'm the running kind
I'm running
You
