Guitar On The Run Lyrics

I was born in the dust, where the river runs dry

Got a heart full of fire, and a thousand reasons why

I was workin' that field, dreamin' of a stage

But this old town couldn't cage my soul in a cage

Got my boots on the ground, and my hand on the wheel

Chasin' down the horizon, you know I gotta feel

Every note that I play, every word that I sing

Gonna leave this town behind, spread my wings

Blues on the highway, I'm rollin' through the night

My soul's on fire, and I'm takin' flight

Ain't lookin' for salvation, just a song to sing

With these blues on the highway, it's a freedom thing

The road's callin' my name, she don't care where I go

I'll follow that rhythm till my heart's on show

Whiskey on my breath, and the wind in my hair

I'm livin' for the moment, ain't got a care

I played every dive, I've strummed every bar

But the sound of the highway's callin' from afar

She's a sweet sound, baby, a soulful refrain

With my fingers on the strings, I'll never be the same

Blues on the highway, I'm rollin' through the night

My soul's on fire, and I'm takin' flight

Ain't lookin' for salvation, just a song to sing

With these blues on the highway, it's a freedom thing

Oh, I'm never lookin' back, I'm livin' out loud

Gonna let that guitar sing above the crowd

It's the sound of freedom, it's the sound of pain

But when the music's playin, I don't feel any strain

Blues on the highway, I'm rollin' through the night

My soul's on fire, and I'm takin' flight

Ain't lookin' for salvation, just a song to sing

With these blues on the highway, it's a freedom thing

So, I'll keep on rollin, 'til the wheels hit the ground

With my heart in the rhythm, and the blues as my sound

Blues on the highway, baby, this is my song

And as long as I'm breathin, I'll keep rollin' on.
