Tom Petty - Running Man's Bible lyrics

rate me

ou're with me tonight on this dark highway

We've run it together so many times

We've run it for money

We've run it for music

We've run it to pay for our innocent crimes

I took on my father and I'm still walkin'

Took on all comers in some shape or form

And I see with the eyes of somethin' wounded

Somethin' still standing after the storm

Here's one to glory and survival

And stayin' alive

It's the running man's bible

I been next in line

I been next to nothin'

Been next to bystanders

Who shoulda said somethin'

It was not in my vision

It was not in my mind

To return from a mission

A man left behind

Here's one to glory

And survival

And stayin' alive

It's the runnin' man's bible

I don't speak of the times I've nearly died

I don't speak of out lastin' those who are gone

Or the things I've done

I care not to remember

Or the desperate measures

That might have been wrong

Honey, here's one to glory

Here's to bad weather

And all the hard things

We've been through together

Here's to the golden rule and survival

And to stayin' alive

It's the runnin' man's bible

Here's one to glory and survival

And stayin' alive

It's the runnin' man's bible
