[Verse 1]
C Bm Am G
I love the smell of fresh-cut hay on both sides of the road
C Bm Am G
Out here on the highway just countin' power line poles
C Bm Am G
And how the stars shine a little brighter when I'm outside of town
D C Cm G C
I been running, oh I been runnin', I ain't slowing down
[Chorus]
D C G D
Runnin all my life if I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin'
C G D
Watching all these good times keep on coming down the line
C C/B Am C G Am G
Ain't gonna let them pass me by, oh I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
[Verse 2]
C Bm Am G
Fast as I could, I left the old hometown in a cloud of dust
C Bm Am G
I figured if I stuck around too long I might turn to rust
C Bm Am G
With a bed roll, Buck knife, and two T-shirts in a gunny sack
D C Cm G C
I took off runnin', oh I took off runnin', I ain't looking back
[Chorus]
D C G D
Runnin all my life if I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin'
C G D
Watching all these good times keep on coming down the line
C C/B Am C G Am
Ain't gonna let them pass me by, oh I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
C G Am G
Guess that I'll be runnin' all my life

[Verse 3]
C Bm Am G
There's a girl just south of Houston her true heart beats for me
C Bm Am G
It takes a lot of patience, Lord to love a man this free
C Bm Am G
Someday, I'm gonna make it home and lay in our warm bed
D C Cm G C
Baby, I'm runnin' you know I'm runnin', if I ain't there yet
[Chorus]
D C G D
Runnin all my life if I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin'
C G D
Watching all these good times keep on coming down the line
C C/B Am
Ain't gonna let them pass me by, I keep
D C G D
Runnin all my life if I ain't driving, I'm shotgunnin'
C G D
Watching all these good times keep on coming down the line
C C/B Am
Ain't gonna let them pass me by,
C G Am
Oh, I guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
C G Am
Guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
C G Am
Guess that I'll be runnin' all my life
