A
On the stroke of ten

  C/A
I slipped into the van

    D/A
And hid myself behind some boxes

                A
Waitin' for the driver yeah


The first time I was lucky

        C/A
For the van took me to Kentucky

    D/A                         A
The first time too I slept in a railway station

  C#m                                 E
I woke up wondering you're running to nowhere

           C#m                            E
But at the same time I was here, oh and I didn't care

   D        A/C#    C         G/B
Oh where am I    ac companied by

     F          G          E
Good hopes, and believe me I'll get by

            Am      F              C          G
Yeah, I'm a runnin',    well I'm a runnin'

      D                       F
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

       C               G
Till I find where I belong

           Am       F        C          G
Yeah I'm a runnin'     I'm a runnin

A
So I ramble through the country

    C/A
And most of the time

D/A                            A
Nature doesn't care less about me


And sometimes when I'm alone

  C/A                         D/A
I hear my father say: Son you gotta do something

                      A
Take that advice from me now

     C#m                    E
So I drop down to South Carolina

       C#m                      E
With a little luck and a little sunshine yeah

         D    A/C#   C       G/B
I say, here I stay,   here I pray

    F          G  E
For happiness, oh every day


But until now

       Am      F              C          G
 I'm a runnin',    well I'm a runnin'
