[Verse 2] She said "You better look out buster the next time you see me you’re gonna pay". I said "Holly I’m not running anymore but I’m on my way". [Chorus] I’m on my way I’m on my way I’m on my way but I’m not running anymore.

[Verse 4] I try to teach those clowns something like how to make it day to day. I say "Hey you kids I’m not running anymore but I’m on my way". [Chorus] I’m on my way I’m on my way I’m on my way and I’m not running anymore.

I’m not the young kid that I used to be so I push the hair back out of my face. [Verse 6] That’s OK I knew this would happen but I was hopin’ not today. Hey baby I’m not running anymore but I’m on my way. [Chorus] I’m on my way I’m on my way I’m on my way and I’m not running anymore. [End-Chorus] I’m on my way I’m on my way I’m on my way and I’m not running anymore. For sure!
