Well, I've been stepped on, baby,
By people I thought were my friends.
I tried so hard to make it,
But the bad tiems never end.
I got just one thing now baby,
One thing on my mind.
Gonna pack it up, little darlin',
And leave you far behind.
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running on down the line.
Well, I've been locked up, oh yes
They threw away the key
When I needed you then bad, woman,
You up and ran out on me.
I got just one thing now, baby,
One thing on my mind
Gonna pack it up, little darlin',
Ain't no use in crying.
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running on down the line.
Yea, life was so sweet, little baby
Now I've got my doubts.
I don't remember checking in
But I'm soon to check out
Got just one thing now, baby
One thing on my mind
Gonna pack it up, yes, Mama
This time I ain't lying.
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running on down the line
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running on down the line
