Lyrics

Hit the Ground Running

I hit the ground with the running at last

I didn't stop to look behind

Yeah, bad times are all in the past

I hit the ground with the running at last, all right

Ooooh, Yeah!

Ooooh, Yeah!

I hit the ground with the running at last

I said I can't wait to get in a car

Your foot's down, the city's so far

You're past the suburbs and speeding so fast

I hit the ground running at last

Ooooh, Yeah!

Ooooh, Yeah!

I hit the ground running at last

The light's still spinning upon your eyes

I hit the brakes, it's the end of line

You're way past the suburbs and speeding so fast

I hit the ground running at last

Ooooh, Yeah!

Ooooh, Yeah!

I hit the ground with the running at last

I hit the ground with the running at last
