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
