| When I was a young boy living in the city |
| All I did was run, run, run, run, run |
| Staring at the lights, they look so pretty |
| Momma said «Son, son, son, son, son |
| You’re gonna grow up, you’re gonna get old |
| All that glitters don’t turn to gold |
| But until then just have your fun |
| Boy, run, run, run, run, run» |
| Yeah, run, run, run |
| Run, run, run |
| When I was a young kid living in the city |
| All I did was pay, pay, pay, pay, pay |
| And every single dime that good Lord gave me |
| I could make it last three, four, five days |
| Living it up but living down low |
| Chasing that luck before I get old |
| And looking back, oh, we had some fun |
| Boy, run, run, run, run, run |
| They tell you that the sky might fall |
| They’ll say that you might lose it all |
| So I run until I hit that wall |
| Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings |
| Look to the rising sun and run, run, run |
| Yeah, one day well the sky might fall |
| Yeah, one day I could lose it all |
| So I run until I hit that wall |
| If I learned one lesson, count your blessings |
| Look to the rising sun and run, run, run |
| Run, run, run |
| Didn’t get everything that I wanted |
| But I got what I need, yeah, yeah |
| I see that light in the morning |
| Shining down on me |
| So take me up high, take me down low |
| Where it all ends nobody knows |
| But until then let’s have some fun |
| Yeah, run, run, run, run, run |
| They tell you that the sky might fall |
| They’ll say that you might lose it all |
| So I run until I hit that wall |
| Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings |
| Look to the rising sun and run, run, run |
| Yeah, one day well the sky might fall |
| Yeah, one day I could lose it all |
| So I run until I hit that wall |
| If I learned one lesson, count your blessings |
| Look to the rising sun and run, run, run |
| Run, run, run |
| Yeah, run, run, run |
| Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings |
| Look to the rising sun |
| Yeah, I learned my lesson, count my blessings |
| Look to the rising sun |
| Yeah, if I learned one lesson, count your blessings |
| Look to the rising sun, yeah, run, run, run |
