The Running Kind Lyrics - Icon - Merle Haggard

I was born the running kind, leaving always on my mind 

Home was never home to me at anytime 

Every front door found me open I would find the back door open 

There just had to be a lesson for the running kind 

Within me there's a prison, surrounding me alone 

As real as any dungeon with a wall of stone 

I know running's not the answer, but running's been my nature 

And a part of me that keeps me moving on 

I was born the running kind, leaving always on my mind 

Home was never home to me at anytime 

Every front door found me open I would find the back door open 

There just had to be a lesson for the running kind
