[Verse 1]
DCG
Holly told me, "You better give me a child",
DCG
I said, "Holly, there's no way,
DCG
we don't even like each other all that much,
DCG
we couldn't make it one more day".
[Verse 2]
DCG
She said, "You better look out, buster,
DCG
the next time you see me you're gonna pay".
DCG
I said, "Holly, I'm not running anymore
DCG
but I'm on my way".
[Chorus]
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way
DCG
but I'm not running anymore.

[Verse 3]
DCG
Well, I got two circus clowns here who like to fight,
DCG
they got one black eye and a bloody nose.
DCG
They are the hoodlums of my third wife,
DCG
whatever I say they will oppose.
[Verse 4]
DCG
I try to teach those clowns something,
DCG
like how to make it day to day.
DCG
I say, "Hey, you kids, I'm not running anymore,
DCG
but I'm on my way".
[Chorus]
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way
DCG*
and I'm not running anymore.

[Verse 5]
DCG
Well, I look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me,
DCG
whatever I had has gone away?
DCG
I'm not the young kid that I used to be,
DCG
so, I push the hair back out of my face.
[Verse 6]
DCG
That's OK, I knew this would happen
DCG
but I was hopin' not today.
DCG
Hey, baby, I'm not running anymore
DCG
but I'm on my way.
[Chorus]
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
and I'm not running anymore.
[End-Chorus]
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way,
DCG
I'm on my way

and I'm not running anymore. For sure!
