Lyrics
I took a walk down a long and winding road
Just to find myself and where it is I'd go
Now my feet took me many places and my eyes seen many faces
On the run
And I run far behind
Just to find, I walk the line
Yes I run far behind
And you know I feel fine
I took a ride on a railroad track
knowing that I may never come back
So with a six string in my hand
And a master plan
I went on the run
And I run far behind
Just to find, I walk the line
Yes I run far behind
And you know I feel fine
I took a flight on an airplane
Just to see if I was still sane
And to my surprise, this I did find
I nearly lost my mind
And I run far behind
Just to find, I walk the line
Yes I run far behind
And you know I feel fine
