On The RunI don't need anybody, nobody to show I don't need anybody, I only wanna know I got an old car running like a boogie band, I spent a lot of time driving through the honest land I saw funky people dancing in the sun, ain't got no home, I'm living on the run Mama once told me not to be afraid "You're gonna find the right one, just believe in fate." So I did. I never knew a girl that seemed right for me, I tried to be a faithful man but they would leave Nobody calling on the phone, so I stayed home Father always said, "Son, life is long and hard." "If you don't work then nothing will be all you've got." I knew I had to try to find my own way, I told my mother, father I'd be back someday I packed my bags, bought a car and then I was ready to go So I went down the road, not even glancing back Always looking for my goal, though I don't know if it's on this track I went through pain and pleasure, I went through sun and bad weather but I never found a place where I belonged Riding on the wind, watching the sun descend No soul to be seen in this dirty land All the towns and people that came along, tried to speak to them but it seemed all wrong Felt just like a stranger, so I had enough reason to go Went further down the road, not even glancing back Always looking for my goal, though I don't know if it's on this track I went through pain and pleasure, I went through sun and bad weather but I never found a place where I belonged One day I crossed a river 'n' on the other side I found a pretty woman who really caught my eye I met her on the street, she said, "Hi, where do you come from?" I said I came down the road, not even glancing back Always looking for my goal, though I don't know if it's on this track I went through pain and pleasure, I went through sun and bad weather but I never I came down the road, not even glancing back, always looking for my goal, though I don't know if it's on this track I spent a few days with her but then I went away Now everybody on this world, listen what I gotta say All the miles, baby, that I've done there's one thing left that I have found I don't need anybody, nobody to show, .... |
Schon der Anfangslick - mit dem dezenten Wahwah im Hintergrund - deutet auf einen etwas ungewohnten blended Stil hin. Eigentlich war dieses Riff für No Call bestimmt, doch einige Bandmitglieder waren zur damaligen Zeit so davon begeistert, dass wir glatt ein eigenes Lied daraus machten. Die Strophe, durchsetzt von Funk- und Jazzelementen, machte den Song zu einem Konzertrenner, der auch heute noch gerne gehört wird. Der Text des Liedes entstand größtenteils durch das Zusammenwirken aller Bandmitglieder im Proberaum und aus dem Wunsch heraus, Amerika mit dem Cabrio zu entdecken! |
