[Chorus: Skrizzly Adams]
I've been livin' on the run, got it on my own
All the things I've done have got me where I'm goin'
On the long way home, I'll take the long way home
Wouldn't take it any other way
I've been right and I've been wrong
Live to fight another day just to get me where I'm goin'
On the long way home, I'll take the long way home
[Verse 1: Chris Webby]
It's takin' all of my patience (Yeah)
Those demons came out and I faced 'em
My heart up on my long sleeve and my brains out on vacation
We made it out of my basement
Uh, we made it out as I take a bow
Know I made a vow to that game when
That day came around and I claimed the crown
Now I've taken all that I came in
Seekin' to attain and now I'm impatient
Yeah, I paved the way 'til I'm face to face with this fade I chased on my way in
Now it's chasin' me on my way out with no way out
What I'm caged in took my whole life to construct
And now I'm locked in to feel stuck
The doors are shut, the phones are cut
But hell, at least the money's up
So I'ma crash the party like Crash the Bandicoot
With no authority to answer to
Nothin' handed to me, I planned it through
Pass the parachute ('Cause I'm flyin')
Won't touch the ground
Ain't buckled in but I buckle down
But how do I keep chasin' inspiration?
At this point, even I wonder how
But still, I found that it's either survive or drown
So until I take my very final bow
[Chorus: Skrizzly Adams]
I've been livin' on the run, got it on my own
All the things I've done have got me where I'm goin'
On the long way home, I'll take the long way home
Wouldn't take it any other way
I've been right and I've been wrong
Live to fight another day just to get me where I'm goin'
On the long way home, I'll take the long way home
[Verse 2: Chris Webby]
I've been livin' on the run now
On a roll, ride slow (Ride slow)
Where to go? (Where to go?)
I just (I just) don't quite know
My trigger fingers on the gun now
Better lie low, when I reload
Got a cheat code, play the whole game
On beast mode
Now-now-now-now-now-now
My tank been on E for years
But still, I'm in the left lane when I switch gears
And I never look back to the view in the rear
But what I went through done got me here
Now I'm big-big-big Megazord
With an iron will and a heavy sword
And what's mine is all that I'll settle for
So king me on this checker board
We stuck 'em up, ain't sell my soul
I know I'm flawed but as I go
I felt the walls but when they closed
I survived like a damn coyote
Now we takin' the long way home
On a wave out in my zone
Every stage I've ever stepped on
Know I gave it all that I known
[Bridge: Chris Webby]
My wick been fuckin' lit, lit for the shit
Don't give in when I slip, still get a grip
And they'll miss when I dip, tilt
Then I give all I got to give in this bitch
So, ask what kind of man am I? No man to lie
I own my soul and I know the road
As I rode the lows while I ran the highs
Goddamn it, I been
[Chorus: Skrizzly Adams]
I've been livin' on the run, got it on my own
All the things I've done have got me where I'm goin'
On the long way home, I'll take the long way home
Wouldn't take it any other way
I've been right and I've been wrong
Live to fight another day just to get me where I'm goin'
On the long way home, I'll take the long way home
[Outro: Skrizzly Adams]
I've been livin' on the run
I've been livin' on the run
I've been livin' on the run
