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
