When I was just a little baby My mama held my hand Tried to hold me steady all she could But I pulled just like a full grown man Now mama was a real fine woman Only angel that I've never known Guess I must a turned out more like my Daddy Chip off a rollin' stone Chorus: Sometimes I wake up sweatin' Eyes wide open I feel like a freight train comin' Wish I knew the reason why Why do I feel like runnin' I love the life I'm livin' I made myself a happy home I got a woman who's in love with her man But she's worried 'bout my gypsy bone Chorus I tell her I ain't ever leavin' I only travel with my mind Part of her knows I'm in it For the long haul but Part of her knows I'm lyin' Chorus Why do I keep on runnin'
