Runner

Story Behind The Song

I was out running this 7 mile route that I typically do once a week. I started thinking about all these reasons that running was like life with a start, middle, ending, ups, downs, excitement, struggles, pains, joys and pot holes. Even though it's sometimes painful, not everyone is fortunate enough to be able to run. It motivated me to think a bit more deeply about my running and my life. When I hear this song, it reminds me that my life shouldn't be only about finishing.

Lyrics

I spend my life runnin' look forward don't look down
I keep on strivin' with my feet on the ground
I run for the horizon scent of roses in the air
I blur the scenery as my soul is bared

Ooh I?m a runner
I?m a running
Ooh I?m a runner
Now watch me run

I've spent my life runnin' I know where I started from
I keep on pushin' when my legs feel numb
To those who run faster I am behind
But I'm strong and I'm gliding, I'm passing you in my mind

Ooh I?m a runner
I?m a running
Ooh I?m a runner
Now watch me run

I?m a runner you can?t stop me
I?m a running running running running running running
Yea yea yea yea yea yea yea

[acoustic guitar solo]

I?ve spent my life running because I know I should
I keep on running for those who never could

Ooh I?m a runner
I?m a running
Ooh I?m a runner
Now watch me run
Ooh I?m a runner
I?m a running
Ooh I?m a runner
Now watch me run
