The Running Kind
Merle Haggard

GG Piano Chord 

I was born the running kind, leaving always on my mind
GG Piano Chord 
                               CC Piano Chord 

Home was never home to me at anytime
CC Piano Chord 
     DD Piano Chord 

Every front door found me open I would find the back door open
GG Piano Chord 

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
