Molly Hatchet - I'll Be Running Lyrics






Well, I've been stepped on, baby,
By people I thought were my friends.
I tried so hard to make it.
But the bad times never end.
I got just one thing now, baby,
One thing on my mind.
Gonna pack it up, little darlin'.
And leave you far behind.

[Chorus:]
I'll be running.
Yes, 'll be running down the line.

Well, I've beeen locked up, oh yes,
They threw away the key,
When I need you then bad, woman.
You ran up and ran out on me.
I just got one thing now, baby.
One thing on my mind,
Gotta pack it up little darlin'.
Ain't no use in crying.

[Chorus:]
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running down the line.

[LEAD GUITAR AND HARP BREAK]

Yea, life was so sweet, little baby,
Now I've got my doubts.
I don't remember checking in,
But I'm soon to check out.
Got just one thing now, baby,
One thing on my mind,
Gonna pack it up, mama,
This time I ain't lying.

[Chorus:]
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running, on down the line.
I'll be running,
Yes, I'll be running, on down the line.

    I use to jam this on 8 track in my moms car when I drove it. It was the late 80's but her buick had an 8 track player and I had a few 8 tracks. This one and Charlie Daniels Fire On The Mountain.

  8. R.... B....

    This song ain't got shit to do with ladies. It's got to do with outlaws. If you are one you better be one and give back more than they are taking.

    Randallkoller Kinda hard to believe all of 'em are gone. And Steve's not in good shape himself. These guys could have been so much bigger than what they were.

  13. L.... S....

    What awesome guitar work. OMG!

  14. r.... l....

    Hatchet should have received more props for their awesome songs! Yes, their three tear guitar sound is clean, clear, and deep down southern style.You cannot compare them to angus young. totally different style! THEY ROCK! Don't get me wrong ac/dc rocks too..

  22. N.... a....

    oooh this is damn cool

  23. T.... ....

    and...R.I.P DJB and Duane Roland.

  24. T.... ....

    What makes the original Hatchet lineup work so much better are the cleaner guitars. Listen closely, and you hear quite a bit less distortion in the overall guitar tone--especially on the rhythm/backing tracks. Today's version of the band is mud city. YES the boys can play, but there's very little "air" in the mix. The perfect example of this "cleaner" approach is Angus Young of AC/DC: his tone is actually quite clean. That's what makes it cut and punch through the mix so fantastically well,

  25. d.... ....

    Don't remember checkin in but I'm certain to check out!!!

  26. l.... ....
