Holly told me, "You better give me a child"
|
I said, "Holly, there's no way
|
We don't even like each other all that much
|
We couldn't make it one more day"
|
She said, "You better look out, buster
|
The next time you see me you're gonna pay"
|
I said, "Holly, I'm not running anymore
|
But I'm on my way"
|
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
But I'm not running anymore
|
|
Well I got two circus clowns here who like to fight
|
They got one black eye and a bloody nose
|
They are the hoodlums of my third wife
|
Whatever I say they will oppose
|
I try to teach those clowns something
|
Like how to make it day to day
|
I say, "Hey, you kids, I'm not running anymore
|
But I'm on my way"
|
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
And I'm not running anymore
|
|
Well I look in the mirror - what the hell happened to me?
|
Whatever I had has gone away
|
I'm not the young kid that I used to be
|
So I push the hair back out of my face
|
That's O.K., I knew this would happen
|
But I was hopin' not today
|
Hey Baby, I'm not running anymore
|
But I'm on my way
|
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
And I'm not running anymore
|
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
I'm on my way
|
And I'm not running anymore
|
|
For sure!
