Will Kimbrough - I'm Not Running Away Lyrics

I'm not running away I'm just running
I never could sit still for very long
It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder
It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song

I always did like running I never did know why
Maybe it's the closest thing a man can get to flying
Always liked the deep end Cool and dark and blue
But I never meant for you to think that I was trying to get away
From you
I'm not running away I'm just running
I never could sit still for very long
It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder
It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song

I always liked the mountains I never did know why
Maybe be it's the closest that a man can get up to the sky
I always have been restless Packed and set to move
But I never meant for you to think that I was trying to get away
From you
I'm not running away I'm just running
I never could sit still for very long
It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder
It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song

In another life I might have lived down by the ocean
Instead of all this constant motion

I'm not running away I'm just running
I never could sit still for very long
It's not the highway calling me Or the wild blue yonder
It's just a chance to pick a while and sing a song
