On the stroke of ten

  
I slipped into the van

    
And hid myself behind some boxes

                
Waitin' for the driver yeah


The first time I was lucky

        
For the van took me to Kentucky

                             
The first time too I slept in a railway station

                                   
I woke up wondering you're running to nowhere

                                       
But at the same time I was here, oh and I didn't care

                        
Oh where am I    ac companied by

                         
Good hopes, and believe me I'll get by

                                          
Yeah, I'm a runnin',    well I'm a runnin'

                             
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

                      
Till I find where I belong

                                    
Yeah I'm a runnin'     I'm a runnin

                                
Oh I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

                           
Till I find where I belong


|        |       |       |        |


|        |       |       |        |



So I ramble through the country

    
And most of the time

                            
Nature doesn't care less about me


And sometimes when I'm alone

                           
I hear my father say: Son you gotta do something

                      
Take that advice from me now

                         
So I drop down to South Carolina

                             
With a little luck and a little sunshine yeah

                       
I say, here I stay,   here I pray

                
For happiness, oh every day


But until now

                                     
 I'm a runnin',    well I'm a runnin'

                             
I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

                   
Till I find where I belong

                                    
Yeah I'm a runnin'     I?m a runnin

                                
Oh I'm a runnin' till I can't go on

                           
Till I find where I belong
