Johnny Cash and Tom Petty - The Running Kind

(One, two, three, four)

I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at any time
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
For the runnin' kind

Within me there's a prison
Surroundin' me alone
As real as any dungeon with walls of stone
I know running's not the answer
Though runnin's been my nature
And the thing in me
That keeps me movin' on

I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at any time
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
For the runnin' kind

I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at any time
Every front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
For the runnin' kind
