Well, Ive 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:
Ill be running.
Yes, ll be running down the line.
Well, Ive 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.
Aint no use in crying.
Chorus:
Ill be running,
Yes, Ill be running down the line.
Lead guitar and harp break
Yea, life was so sweet, little baby,
Now Ive got my doubts.
I dont remember checking in,
But Im soon to check out.
Got just one thing now, baby,
One thing on my mind,
Gonna pack it up, mama,
This time I aint lying.
Chorus:
Ill be running,
Yes, Ill be running, on down the line.
Ill be running,
Yes, Ill be running, on down the line.
