I'm a Running

On the stroke of ten

I slipped into the van

and hid myself behind some boxes

Waitin' for the driver yeah

The first time I was lucky

For the van took me to Kentucky

The first time too I slept in a railway station

I woke up wondering you're running to nowhere

But at the same time I was here, oh and I didn't care

Oh where am I accompanied by

Good hopes, and believe me I'll get by

Yeah, I'm a runnin', well I'm a runnin'

I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

Till I find where I belong

Yeah I'm a runnin'

oh I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

Till I find where I belong

So I ramble through the country

and most of the time

nature doesn't care less about me

And sometimes when I'm alone

I hear my father say: Son you gotta do something

Take that advice from me now

So I drop down to South Carolina

With a little luck and a little sunshine yeah

I say, here I stay, here I pray

for happiness, oh every day

But until now I'm a runnin'

yeah, I'm a runnin'

I'm runnin' till I can't go on

Till I find where I belong
