    Verse 1
    My thoughts 
    are 
    out 
    the 
    door, 

    my 
    words 
    about 
    to 
    pour 

    The boots 
    are 
    on 
    the boat, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    hit 
    the ground 
    runnin' 

    My 
    eyes 
    are 
    up 
    ahead, 

    I'm 
    lonely 
    in 
    this 
    bed 

    My 
    home 
    is 
    in 
    my 
    head, 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    hit 
    the ground 
    runnin' 

    Verse 2

    My 
    choices 
    have 
    been 
    made, 

    my dues 
    have 
    all 
    been 
    paid 

    I gotta 
    burn 
    before 
    I fade 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    hit 
    the 
    ground 
    runnin' 

    I be 
    runnin' 
    when 
    I hit 
    ground 


    Verse 3
    I don't 
    turn 
    my 
    porch 
    light 
    on 

    when 
    I leave 
    home 

    'Cause 
    I'm gone 
    a lot 
    and 
    I ain't 

    got 
    nothing 
    to steal 

    Verse 4

    I don't 
    kiss 
    my 
    baby 
    goodbye 

    See, 
    I got 
    no 
    baby 
    'cause 
    I'm gone 
    a lot 

    And 
    I don't 
    know 
    how 
    to deal 

    And 
    I keep 
    looking 
    for 

    something 
    that's 
    real 

    Verse 5
    Goin' 
    out 
    on the road 

    Gonna 
    ramble 
    all 
    over 
    America 

    I was 
    born 
    on the run 

    And 
    I'm 
    never 
    gonna 
    settle 
    down 

    Verse 6
    Baby, 
    I'm 
    on a roll 

    Rollin'

    And 
    when the 
    sun 
    comes 
    up, 
    honey 

    I'll 
    be 
    running 
    when 
    I 
    hit 
    the 
    ground 

    Verse 7
    I don't 
    set 
    my 
    suitcase 
    down 

    when I 
    get 
    to town 

    'Cause I'm 
    gone 
    a lot 
    and I 
    know I'll 

    be 
    leaving 
    real 
    soon 

    And 
    I don't 
    know 
    just 
    where 

    I'm 
    bound 

    But someday 
    I'll 
    come 
    back 
    around 

    Verse 8
    And 
    you know I'll 
    be 
    looking 
    for 

    you 

    Yeah, I'm 
    sure 
    to 
    be 
    looking 
    for 
    you 

    Verse 9
    Goin' 
    out 
    on the road 

    Gonna 
    ramble 
    all 
    over 
    America 

    I was 
    born 
    on the run 

    And I'm 
    never 
    gonna 
    settle 
    down

    When the 
    sun 
    comes 
    up, 
    honey

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
