Runnin'

(album: Take Forever - 2023)

First time we talked I had to brave up
My feet were walking but my heart was straight up running
Baby you were stunning

At a kid rock concert later
We were heating up like a radiator running
Your daddy wasn't ready for no son in-law like me
With an outlaw attitude
I got a long long way to go but short

I'mma bust my ass to keep the lights water and the gas
Runnin, runnin, runnin
Every dang day from the dogs to the Chevrolet
Runnin, runnin, runnin
To Jesus with all my sins
To you with all my loving I swear
Imma take care of ya
Keep your pretty mascara from runnin, runnin, runnin

And when I get paid you can put your money
I'm gonna hit the short cut to the house and come home running
Probably pick you up some flowers or something
Yeah and if we get rich one day
You know I'm gonna make sure the hot tub's always running
For us to have a little fun in sure as this six string's strumming

I'mma bust my ass to keep the lights water and the gas
Runnin, runnin, runnin
Every dang day from the dogs to the Chevrolet
Runnin, runnin, runnin
To Jesus with all my sins
To you with all my loving I swear
Imma take care of ya
Keep your pretty mascara from runnin, runnin, runnin
Runnin, runnin, runnin

50 years, Lord willing, with a couple of canes
Gonna hop out the front porch swing and take off running
After a bunch of little grand youngins' in the yard
Baby cross my heart

I'mma bust my ass to keep the lights water and the gas
Runnin, runnin, runnin
Every dang day from the dogs to the Chevrolet
Runnin, runnin, runnin
To Jesus with all my sins
To you with all my loving I swear
Imma take care of ya
Keep your pretty mascara from runnin, runnin, runnin
Runnin, runnin, runnin

When you're walking down the aisle
In step with your dad
Dressed in white Imma wish so bad
You were running runnin running
Imma make sure this love stays up and running running running
Stays up and running
