The Desert Rose Band was an American country rock band from California, founded in 1985 by Chris Hillman (formerly of The Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers), and Herb Pedersen and John Jorgenson. Also in the original lineup were Bill Bryson (bass guitar), Jay Dee Maness (pedal steel guitar), and Steve Duncan (drums). Herb sang the high tenor part above Chris' tenor and each Desert Rose Band album featured Herb on one lead vocal. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the band charted several singles on the U.

Desert Rose Band Running written by Chris Hillman/Steve Hill
AD My home town is filled with broken dreams AED Folks back there are running from life it seems AGD I left as a young man running from a memory AE I'm still running I'll always be running AD My father died a broken man by his own hands AED One of life's casualities lost in the sand AGD He showed us a way to love a way to understand AE He finally stopped running oh he finally stopped running DADA I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight EDA The love in his heart when he made it all right
Racing his mind that was never won F#mEAEDA So if you're gonna run what you running from AD The years flew by like a runaway train AE I never caught up I never got use to change AGD Cause change is the only thing that I'd ever known AE I'm still running and I'm still running DADA I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight EDA The love in his heart when he made it all right
Racing his mind that was never won F#mEAEDA So if you're gonna run what you running from AD With my face to the wind I stand all alone AE Scattered memories taken all I own AGD A families love can help you along AE But I'm still running I'll always be running DADA I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight EDA The love in his heart when he made it all right
Racing his mind that was never won F#mEA So if you're gonna run what you running from
