Chorus 1
G
I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
C
Home was never home to me at any time
D7
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
G
for the runnin' kind
Verse 1
G
Within me there's a prison
surrounding me alone
C
As real as any dungeon with its walls of stone
D7
I know running's not the answer
Yeah, but running's been my nature
G
And a part of me that keeps me movin' on
Chorus 2
G
I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
C
Home was never home to me at any time
D7
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
G
for the runnin' kind
