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

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

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