ever since i was a little kid
i have always thought
i could run faster than the wind
stare up to the sky with open spaces
i could live and die
man you can’t find that in no book
never find that in no book
someone will drag you down
and try to knock you under
hey mama said with her words of wonder
don’t matter cause
cause it’s in your soul
i have always felt
that i had to prove it to myself
no salvation from the firin’ line
a million dreams won’t set you free
god i know there’s something trapped in me
there’s no refuge from the ride
no shelter ever saved a man his pride
give you pain and never feed your hunger
i won’t close my eyes
when it rains and thunders
don’t matter cause
cause it’s in your soul
and when the night is overcome
and i’ve been racin’ down a road
that’s got no trace no face
if i could live by the words i’ve sung
and carry all the choices i’ve made
i swear i swear i’ll be there
hey mister don’t shadow box with me
cause i don’t wanna someday be
an old man cursin’ what i might have been
now i realize what i see
that the wind was never chasin’ me
and i don’t feel so alone
i can close my eyes i’m goin’ home
behind the clouds the sun is shinin’
some rain will fall no use cryin’
o no o no not me
got a picture in my head
that won’t let go of
young man running in search of
count your blessings
cause it’s in your soul
o it’s in your soul
in your soul o no
ever since i was a little kid
i have always thought
young man running
