Hit the Ground Running

[Chorus] I had to leave the country Though there was some nice folk there And now I don't know where I'm going All I know is I'll hit the ground running [Verse 1] Bony cowboys and Southern gentlemen Bedding women that'll never mend They ride the roads as they bend As they bend to their dead ends [Chorus] I had to leave the country Though there was some nice folk there And no, I don't know where I'm going All I know is that I'll hit the ground running [Verse 2] I was raised in a pit of snakes Blink your eyes I was raised on cake I couldn't memorize a century of slang Or learn to tell the same story Again and again and again [Chorus] I had to leave the country Though there was some nice folk there And now I don't know where I'm going All I know is I'll hit the ground running [Verse 3] The bitterness is a lowest sin A bitter man rots from within I've seen his smile, yellow and brown The bitterness has brought him down [Chorus] I had to leave the country Though there was some nice folks there And now I don't know where I'm going All I know to do is hit the ground running Hit the ground running Hit the ground running Hit the ground running
