I’m A Runnin’ (G. Kooymans) 1969 On The Double

On the stroke of ten I slipped into the van
And hid myself behind some boxes waitin’ for the driver
The first time I was lucky for the van took me to Kentucky
The first time too I slept in a railway station

I woke up wondering you’re running to nowhere
But at the same time I was here and I didn’t care
Where am I accompanied by
Good hopes and believe me, I’ll get by

I’m a runnin’, well I’m a runnin’
I’m a runnin’ till I can’t go on, till I find where I belong
I’m a runnin’, oh I’m a runnin’
I’m a runnin’ till I can’t go on, till I find where I belong

So I ramble through the country and most of the time
Nature doesn’t care less about me, no no
And sometimes when I’m alone I hear my father say:
Son you gotta do something, take that advice from me now

So I drop down to South Carolina
With a little luck and a little sunshine
I say here I stay, here I pray
For happiness every day

But until now I’m a runnin’, I’m a runnin’
I’m a runnin’ till I can’t go on, till I find where I belong
I’m a runnin’, oh I’m a runnin’
I’m a runnin’ till I can’t go on, till I find where I belong

I’m a runnin’, I’m a runnin’
I’m a runnin’ till I can’t go on, till I find where I belong
I’m a runnin’, I’m a runnin’
I’m a runnin’ till I can’t go on…
