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.

I´ll be running.
Yes, ´ll be running down the line.

Well, I´ve been 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.

I´ll be running,
Yes, I´ll be running down the line.

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.

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.
