Running Man Lyrics

I was born a summer sweet

Daddy reaped and chaffed the wheat

Mama gave me scraps to eat

Growing into who I am

Dashed away in the autumn wind

Something drove me from within

To leave the thresher and his land

Looking out for who I am

Catch me if you can

I'm the running man

My soul rushes on, like a wave on land

I am the running man

Underground and out of sight

On the rail most every night

Minding stars as sailors might

Trying to find just where I am

Some have passed before me here

Mad enough to disappear

Mad as dreams can drive a man

Searching for the Promised Land

Catch me if you can

I'm the running man

And the stars lead on like an outstretched hand

I am the running man

Catch me if you can

I'm the running man

And the stars lead on like a guiding hand

I am the running man

A lantern in a window shines

Removes the shackles and the binds

Shows me bread and cheese and wine

And satisfies the man I am

And though it never lasts too long

The lord has made my spirit strong

For the miles they go on and on and on

Catch me if you can, I'm the running man

And my heart beats on like a marching band

I'm the running man, yeah, I'm the running man

Catch me if you can

For those that cannot run

I will run for them

I am the running man
