Keep On Runnin'
Chasing Shadows: A Tale of Redemption on the Open Road
Lyrics
Four wheels rolling down thirty five
Traveling on a road named thirty-five with four wheels in motion
High tailing through the crackling rain
Speeding through rain that makes a crackling sound
Black smoke filling up the rearview
Exhaust fumes filling the rearview mirror
Kicking myself because I'm running from the pain
Regretting the escape from pain and hardship
Radio keeping my head steady
The radio helping to keep the mind focused
That's what my mind likes to say
Expressing the mind's tendency to rationalize
Pretty girl coming down from the big city
A beautiful woman descending from a big city
Breaking my heart when they blew her away.
Heartbroken due to her tragic fate
I'm no cowboy, but I'll track you down
Not a cowboy, but determined to pursue someone
I'm no bull rider, but I'm never gonna let this one down
Not a bull rider, but committed to facing a challenge
I'm not a gambling man, but I'll roll the dice once in awhile
Not a gambler, but willing to take risks occasionally
You can run and you can hide, but when I hit the ground running
Emphasizing determination to pursue relentlessly
A mile is a mile
Highlighting the importance of consistency in efforts
Square toe coming down on the gravel road
Describing a square-toed boot on a gravel road
44 up against my side
A .44 caliber gun carried on the side
I don't know who's breathed his last
Uncertain about the identity of someone who may die
But he'll be talking to the Lord by the end of the night
Anticipating a conversation with the Lord after a violent act
Keep on runnin
Encouraging the listener to persist and keep running
Keep on runnin
Reiterating the call to keep running
Keep on yeah yeah yeah yeah
Continuing the encouragement with repeated "yeah"
I'm no cowboy, but I'll track you down
Repeating the determination to track someone down
I'm no bull rider, but I'm never gonna let this one down
Reiterating the commitment to face and overcome challenges
I'm not a gambling man, but I'll roll the dice once in awhile
Expressing a willingness to take occasional risks
You can run and you can hide, but when I hit the ground running
Emphasizing the relentless pursuit and determination
A mile is a mile
Reiterating the significance of consistency in efforts
Keep on runnin
Encouraging persistence and continuous action
Keep on runnin
Repeating the encouragement to keep running
