I'll Be Running Lyrics - Original Album Classics, Vol. 2 - Molly Hatchet

Well, I've been stepped on, baby, 

By people I thought were my friends. 

I tried so hard to make it. 

But the bad times never end. 

I got just one thing now, baby, 

One thing on my mind. 

Gonna pack it up, little darlin'. 

And leave you far behind. 

Chorus: 

I'll be running. 

Yes, 'll be running down the line. 

Well, I've beeen locked up, oh yes, 

They threw away the key, 

When I need you then bad, woman. 

You ran up and ran out on me. 

I just got one thing now, baby. 

One thing on my mind, 

Gotta pack it up little darlin'. 

Ain't no use in crying. 

Chorus: 

I'll be running, 

Yes, I'll be running down the line. 

LEAD GUITAR AND HARP BREAK 

Yea, life was so sweet, little baby, 

Now I've got my doubts. 

I don't remember checking in, 

But I'm soon to check out. 

Got just one thing now, baby, 

One thing on my mind, 

Gonna pack it up, mama, 

This time I ain't lying. 

Chorus: 

I'll be running, 

Yes, I'll be running, on down the line. 

I'll be running, 

Yes, I'll be running, on down the line.
