i've been runnin' from that barn like a bat out of hell
i packed my things and headed out
lit my match and set ablaze
watched it burn as i ran away
i've been chasing the sun like it's burning out
even when it set it don't slow me down
lines've been growin' in circles 'round my eyes
as i've been running for to save my life
ain't no roots gonna hold my body down
ain't no body gonna stop my ramblin' round
if you find my body lying by the road
tuckered out from the heavy load
when those vultures come to feed
you just watch and let 'em be
ain't no roots gonna hold my body down
ain't no body gonna stop my ramblin' round
