Running Out Of Steam

(album: Albert - 1976)

I've been chasing after you babe
It seem like a mighty long time
Oh, I think I'm about to reach
Reach the end of my line

Oh, the more I think of you baby
The further from me you get, it seems
Oh, I guess I'm never gonna catch you, baby
'Cause I'm 'bout running out a-steam

Aww
The first time I saw you girl
It marked the beginning of my chase
I've been running after you ever since
And I haven't got any place

Oh, the more I chase you baby
The further from me you get it seems
Oh, I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl
'Cause I'm 'bout running out a-steam

Even though I really love you girl
Chasing you is just like chasing the devil
The harder I run, the more ya have fun
Now I know you wouldn't care if it lasts forever

'Cause the more I chase ya baby
The further from me you get it seems
I guess I ain't never gonna catch you girl
'Cause I'm 'bout running out a-steam

Oh!
