I've travelled the land
With a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I've made some mistakes
Had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
Verse 2
I've seen all the frowns
On the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
And I've seen all the girls
In their pretty frocks and curls
But they don't mean alot to me
Short Chorus (and key change)
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
Verse 3
I've been to the places in town
Where the faces hang 'round
Just to stare at each other
I've looned with them, screamed at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
Vocal Harmony Chorus (No Guitar!)
I've travelled the land Made mistakes out of hand
(Run for home, run as fast as I can)
Seen the faces in the places misunderstand
(Oh oh running man, running for home)
Yes I've travelled the world Seen those pretty boys and girls
(Run for home run as fast as I can)
Heard the noise that destroys and commands
(Oh oh running man, running for home)
