Money, who needs it
Let me live my life free and easy
Put a toothbrush in my hand
And let me be a travellin' man
Cause I'm a road runner baby
I'm a road runner baby
Can't stay in one place too long
I'm a road runner baby
One look at me and I'll be gone
Well you can love me if you wanna
But I do declare
When I get restless, I've got to move somewhere
Cause I'm a road runner baby
Anywhere is my home
And I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
A road runner baby
Don't want no woman
To tie me down
Got to be free baby
To roam around
All my life I've been like this
And if you love me it's your own risk
Cause when the dust hits my shoes
I've got the urge to move
Yes I'm a road runner baby
Got to keep movin' on
Hey, and I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
I'm a road runner baby
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Don't want no woman
To tie me down
Got to be free baby
To roam around
All my life I've been like this
And if you love me it's your own risk
Cause when the dust hits my shoes
I've got the urge to move
Yes I'm a road runner baby
Got to keep movin' on
Hey, and I live the life I love
And I love the life I live
I'm a road runner baby
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...
Road, road runner...oooh.....
Life was filled with guns and war,
And all of us got trampled on the floor.
I wish we'd all been ready.
Children died, the days grew cold.
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold.
I wish we'd all been ready.
And there's no time
To change your mind
The Son has come
And you've been left behind.
A man and wife asleep in bed,
She hears a noise, turns her head he's gone.
I wish we'd all been ready.
Two men walking up a hill,
One disappears, one's left standing still.
I wish we'd all been ready.
And there's no time
To change your mind
The Son has come
And you've been left behind
(oh yeah, ooh)
(yeah, alright)
The Father spoke, the demons dined.
How could you have been so blind?
And there's no time
To change your mind
The Son has come
And you've been left behind.
No, And there's no time
To change your mind
The Son has come
And you've been left behind
I hope we'll all be ready.
You've been left behind.
I hope we'll all be ready.
You've been left behind.
I hope we'll all be ready.
You've been left behind.
