A letra:
He
was a poor boy, raised in a small family
He kinda had a cravin'
for somethin' no one else could see
They say that he was crazy
The
kind that no lady should meet
He
ran out to the city and wandered around in the street
He wants to
dance, oh yeah
He wants to sing, oh yeah
He wants to see the
lights a flashin' and listen
To the thundering
He saw it in a
window
The mark of a new kind of man
He kinda liked the
feeling, so shiny and smooth in his hand
He took it to the country
and practiced for days without rest
And then one day he felt it
He knew he could stand
with the best
They got respect, oh yeah
He wants the same, oh
yeah
And it's a certain kind of fool that
Likes to hear the
sound of his own name
Oo...
A poster on a
storefront, the picture of a wanted man
He had a reputation
spreading like fire through the land
It wasn't for the money, at
least it didn't start that way
It wasn't for the runnin', but now
he's runnin' every day.
