[Intro]
Bm
[Verse]
Bm
I've been called a runner
D A
I always leave my place
Bm
Racing to another
A Bm
Another town, another face
Bm
The road's become my lover
D A
Gasoline fuels my soul
Bm
And i came back to your town
A Bm
I'd just as quickly go
[Chorus]
D
So don't you rely on me
A Bm
'cause i won't be there for you
Bm A G Bm A G
No woman i've found can slow me down
G A Bm
And i'll die before i do
[Verse]
Bm
The day i left my mother
D A
My hands were smooth and small
Bm
She warned me then about my ways
A Bm
But her words i can't recall
Bm
It was something about running
D A
And killing of my pride
Bm
Don't think of it that often
A Bm
I never made the time
[Chorus]
D
So don't you rely on me
A Bm
'cause i won't be there for you
Bm A G Bm A G
No woman i've found can slow me down
G A Bm
And i'll die before i do
[Verse]
Bm
They found me in the gutter
D A
Off the highway seventeen
Bm
I was going back to my hometown
A Bm
When i slipped into a dream
[Slower Verse]
Bm
I was lying by my mother's side
D A
When these words she spoke to me
Bm
"from the ground the nest cannot be found
A Bm
By a bird with a broken wing"
