Running Wild

These days the night shift cutie at the truck stop knows my name
Threw the candle in the midnight oil and lit up the honky tonk highway
I see the sun come up cuz I ain’t been to bed
Gonna have my name cut into a stone when I lay my head
No rest for the wicked at least for a few hundred miles

I’m runnin wild
Ride the lightnin run on empty
In the ring of fire
Rolling like the Mississippi
Oh mama tried
But I got bad down to my bones
Don’t know where I’m gonna go oh sweet child
I’m runnin wild

Always been a runner never been one for settlin’ down
Spent my life in the backwoods lookin for ways out of a one horse town
I found a six string ticket and jumped that west bound train
And I only slow down long enough to stand up on that stage
Cloud nine is a cloud of dust for the next thousand miles

I’m runnin’ with the devil, rollin’ down the road
Ridin’ on the storm livin’ like I’m dyin’ slow
Headlights in the fast lane is my home away from home
If there’s light after this tunnel I’m gonna be the first to know
No slowing down no looking back no staying for a while
I’m pedal down and right on track I’m ready for the ride
