I roll in like a desert wind
With a broken smile and a heart that's on the mend
Leaving home for the painted sky
Away from you and the pain that fills my eyes
Oh, yeah

Now I know the truth
Why I run from you
And I know the truth

I'm on the run just living like a gypsy
I'm on the run just living like a gypsy
Heard that line a hundred times
Boy, what are you running from?
I'm on the run if you know what you're missing
Then come and get you some

Lay my head under the stars alone
Try to find a love to call my own
Ain't no use in telling you I miss
Your precious smile but still I reminisce

Now I know the truth
Why I run from you
And I know the truth

I'm on the run just living like a gypsy
I'm on the run just living like a gypsy
And I've heard that line a hundred times
Boy, what are you running from?
I'm on the run if you know what you're missing
Then come and get you some

Oh baby
Oh baby

Do ya feel the same?
Do ya feel the same?

Now I know the truth
Why I run from you
And I know the truth

I'm on the run just living like a gypsy
I'm on the run living like a gypsy
Said I've heard that line a hundred times
Boy what are you running from?
I'm on the run if you know what you're missing
Then come and get you some
