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
