A rhythm runs through my veins that I can't shake I was born to drift across these plains I come from a bloodline that's been cursed since the day But there's a hurricane inside, a cycle I can't break And it's a long way down this open road And I won't be coming home anytime soon This life is all I've ever known I like to spend my days on the run Just me, my guitar, picking in the honky-tonk bars Singing songs about the Southland Living life like a simple man I'm doing fine, barely getting by I don't need a lot of money or things that shine And it's a long way down this open road And I won't be coming home anytime soon This life is all I've ever known I like to spend my days on the run And it's a long way down this open road And I won't be coming home anytime soon This life is all I've ever known I like to spend my days on the run
