I drew my very first breath
in a driving rain
Doing 90 miles an hour
on a westbound train
My mama was a gypsy and my
daddy was a rambling man
And I could hitch me a ride
before I learned to walk
I hear the wind and I heed the call
I don't know where I'm going
but I'm getting there
as fast as I can, yes I am, you gotta hit your ground running,
if you're gonna make time,
you gotta push it to the limit, take it to the red line,
life is a highway, if you're
going my way, you better keep it up to speed,
you better hit your ground running, if you're
If with me
Yeah, you gotta hit the ground running
If you're coming with me
Well, I'm a high -rolling, hard -living,
good -timing man
Make no excuses for the way that I am
Gotta get my legs all in
before the fat lady sings
It makes me nervous when I try to sit
I like my candles with both ends lit
A little hard headed, but if I learn one thing I know,
I know you gotta hit your ground and
run it
If you're gonna make time
You better push it to the limit
Take it to the red line
Life is a highway,
if you're going my way
You better keep it up to speed
You better hit your ground running
If you're coming with me
You gotta hit your ground running
If you're gonna make time
You gotta push it to the limit
And take it on up to the red line
You see, life is a highway
If you're going my way
You better keep it up to speed
You better hit your ground running
If you're coming with me
If you're coming with me
You gotta hit your ground running
If you're coming with me
I'll tell you one more time
Hit the ground running,
if you're coming with me
If you're gonna run with the big dogs,
