Daniel Fred & Julie - Runner lyrics

I've been called a runner I always leave my place Racing to another Another town, another face The road's become my lover Gasoline fuels my soul And i came back to your town I'd just as quickly go So don't you rely on me 'cause i won't be there for you No woman i've found can slow me down And i'll die before i do The day i left my mother My hands were smooth and small She warned me then about my ways But her words i can't recall It was something about running And k**ing of my pride Don't think of it that often I never made the time So don't you rely on me 'cause i won't be there for you No woman i've found can slow me down And i'll die before i do They found me in the gutter Off the highway seventeen I was going back to my hometown When i slipped into a dream I was lying by my mother's side When these words she spoke to me "from the ground the nest cannot be found By a bird with a broken wing"
