Lyrics

I've travelled the land, with a guitar in my hand
and an eye ever open for some fun.

I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks,
seen the boys on the make, and on the bum.

Chorus:
Run for home, Run as fast as I can
Oh running man, running for home.

Run for home, Run as fast as I can
Oh running man, running for home.

I've seen all the frowns, on the faces of the clowns
and the downs that they take just to be free.

I've seen all the girls, in their pretty frocks and curls
but they don't mean a lot to me.

Chorus:
Run for home, Run as fast as I can
Oh running man, running for home.

I've been to the places in town where the faces
hang round just to stare at each other.

I've looned with them screamed at the moon
behaved like a buffon, but I soon discovered.

Chorus:
Run for home, Run as fast as I can
Oh running man, running for home.

Run for home, Run as fast as I can
Oh running man, running for home.

see above, plus a 3rd time, with vocals only, Break: F, C, G

I've travelled the land, made mistakes out of hand
seen the faces in the places misunderstand.

I've been round the world, seen the pretty boys and girls
heard the noise that destroys and commands.

Chorus:
Run for home, Run as fast as I can
Oh running man, running for home.
