When I was a young boy living in the city
All I did was run, run, run, run, run
Staring at the lights they looked so pretty
Mama said son, son, son, son, son
You're gonna grow up, you're gonna get old
And all that glitter don't turn to gold
But until then just have your fun
Boy, run, run, run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
When I was a young kid living in the city All I did was pay,
pay,
pay,
pay,
pay
And every single dime that good Lord
gave me I could make it last three,
four,
five days
Living it up,
but living down low Chasing that luck before I get old
Looking back,
oh,
we had some fun Boy,
run,
run,
run,
run,
run
They tell you that the sky might fall
They'll say that you might lose it all
So I'll run until I hit that wall
Yeah,
I learned my lesson,
count my blessings Look to the rising sun
Run, run, run
Yeah, one day, well, the sky might fall
Yeah, one day I could lose it all
So I'll run until I hit that wall
If I learned my lesson,
count your blessings Look to the rising sun
Run, run, run
Did I get everything that I wanted But I got what I need,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah
I see that light in the morning Shining down on me
So take me up high,
take me down low Clear it all and somebody knows
But until then let's have some fun Yeah,
run,
run,
run,
run,
run
They tell you that the sky might fall
They'll say that you might lose it all
So I'll run until I hit that wall Yeah,

count my blessings
Look to the rising sun Run, run, run
Yeah,
one day,

the sky might fall Yeah,
one day I could lose it all
So I'll run until I hit that wall If I learned my lesson,
