Roadrunner
Roadrunner roadrunner what you running from?
Kicking up dust in the morning sun so
What's the rush the day has just begun
Won't you tell me the reason you run
When I was just a little baby on my mama's knee
Listen to the words that she said to me
She said that life moves fast baby don't get left behind
No one to save me
Hit the ground running had to get on track
Left that town no turning back
But those words she said stay forever in my mind
No one to talk to
Talk to me talk to me where I'm from
Ain't got no rules and I answer to no one
So sit yourself down you know the day is young
And let me tell you the reason I run
I finally stopped for a second underneath the full moon
In an old ghost town in a dusty saloon
I said pour me a drink babe I just rolled into town
No one to talk to
Sat at a table started shooting some dice
A local got bitter starts to draw his knife
So I pulled my piece and shot that joker down
No one to save me
Listen to me listen to me what I say
Every step close takes me farther away
So I'm bound to keep moving til' I'm old and grey
And it's the reason I just can't stay
I can't stay, I can't stay
Baby I can't stay
No how no way yeah
I got the sterling silver with the mother of pearl on the hilt
I don't talk much and no I don't take no shit
Cut down anyone that's in my way
No one to save me
I move quickly trying hard just to do right
Two pistol barrels smoking in the moonlight
I'm sorry baby but you know I just can't stay
No one to talk to
Roadrunner roadrunner where you running to?
The air clear and the sky so blue
You know the day is so long you got nothing to do
So won't you tell me where you running to?
I don't know (No I don't know)
Baby I don't know (No I don't know)
Just where I go (Just a where I go)
Baby I don't know (Baby I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
Kicking up dust in the morning sun so
