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

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

  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

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
