Johnny Cash/Jean Ritchie - Running For Our Lives Lyrics

I'll be your fish out of water, be your choo-choo train
I'll be your blindfold archer, be the dog on your trail
I'll be your soul survivor, be your bird on a wire
I'll be the hand to guide you when you walk in the fire

I'll be your lord and master or your galley slave
And we can court disaster or go live in a cave
I'll be your Great Pretender or your fool for a day
I'll be return-to-sender if you send me away

Oh... my love
We change... we stay the same
And the beat goes on
So deep inside... still running for our lives

I'll be the deep-sea diver for your treasure chest
I'll be your backseat driver on the road to success
I'll be your travelling minstrel and your one best friend
I'll be your southern comfort to the bitter end

I'll be your bread and butter, just your cup of tea
I'll be your steadfast pilot when we head out to sea
I'll be the star to shine you through your darkest night
I'll be the one to find you when we vanish from sight

Oh... my love
We change... we stay the same
And the beat goes on
So deep inside... still running for our lives
