When I was just a little baby
My mama held my hand
Tried to hold me steady all she could
But I pulled just like a full-grown man
Now mama was a real fine woman
Only angel I`ve ever known
Guess I must have turned out more like my daddy
A chip off the rollin` stone
Sometimes I wake up sweatin`
Yeah, eyes open wide
I feel like a freight train comin`
I wish I knew the reason why
Why do I feel like running
I love the life I`m livin`
I`ve made myself a happy home
I`ve got a woman who`s in love with a man
But she`s worried about my gypsy bone
Sometimes I wake up sweatin`
Yeah, eyes open wide
I feel like a freight train comin`
I wish I knew the reason why
Why do I feel like running
I tell her I ain`t never leavin`
I only travel with my mind
A part of her knows that I`m in it for the long haul
But part of her knows I`m lyin`
Sometimes I wake up sweatin`
Yeah, eyes open wide
I feel like a freight train comin`
I wish I knew the reason why
Why do I feel like running
Why do I feel like running
Why do I feel like running
Why do I feel like running
Why do I feel like running
Yeah
I guess it`s just my daddy`s blood
That`s right
