Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[D][G]

[Chorus 1]
[G]I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at [C]any time
Every [D]front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
for the [G]runnin' kind

[Verse 1]
With[G]in me there's a prison
surrounding me alone
As real as any dungeon with its [C]walls of stone
I know [D]running's not the answer
Yeah, but running's been my nature
And a part of me that keeps me mov[G]in' on

[Chorus 2]
[G]I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at [C]any time
Every [D]front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
for the [G]runnin' kind

[Solo 1]
[G][C][D][G]

[Chorus 3]
[G]I was born the runnin' kind
With leavin' always on my mind
Home was never home to me at [C]any time
Every [D]front door found me hopin'
I would find the back door open
There just had to be an exit
for the [G]runnin' kind

[Outro 1]
[G][C][D]
[Fade out]
