I was born on a runaway street, but nothing I saw, could ever stop my feet

And then one day I stopped and strayed and I found myself, somewhere to take a seat

Yeah, I settled down in a quiet town, well I held my breath and took a good look around

Well, you said hello and I said I know, and the morning sun, was there when it all was done

I felt so caged, but in a damn good way and it seemed like there was nowhere left to run

Now I’m movin’, yet standing still

And everything I know is all I feel

The beating of my heart is so real

But tomorrow’s gonna be a long night for me

I was raised on those good-boy ways, but my shadow seemed to always lead my way

So I dug in deep into the dead-end beat, but the drummer only plays part-time shows

Well, I was on a roll, and I didn’t know that if you let it do it, it’ll steal your soul

So I packed my bags and I didn’t wave, I’m still movin’, or so that story goes

But I’m movin’, and standing still

And everything I know is all I feel

The beating of my heart is so real

But tomorrow’s gonna be a long night for me
