You're Running Wild - Larry Cordle, Carl Jackson & Jerry Salley

Down the waterfall Found the feet to swim again It's for you I call To drown the past of me instead Feel the air in me I've lifted off the atmosphere So steal the mask I see I've shifted off the wheel I steer I'm rising high and free again An eagles flight it'll never end Found my place the evergreen She sets me free and I've never seen Cold, the hands she blessed me with To hold the man she wouldn't give A second chance to live a life I'm moving on and living right Count my years up Boundless future Sound my freedom Now I've grieved it Running wild I run Running wild I run I run Holding fast to anything My grip will last now I'm coloured in The river's deep but I'm river strong The mountain's steep but I'm holding on Shade the past with memories Shake my past of seventeen Pave the way for anyone They slaved away for the seventh time Give me life to live away A life that's mine I could never say Count my years up, Boundless future Sound my freedom, now I've grieved Running wild I run Running wild I run I run I run Running wild I run Running wild I run I run I run I run

Alright I move as fast as I can I like to get around I'm crazy like a madman My feet don't touch the ground I move amongst the nightlife And they just step aside 'Cause when they see me comin' They know I'm runnin' wild Dead or alive, there's nothin' That bothers me at all I take on all comers They back off or they fall They raise their hands to stop me And I laugh and I defy 'Cause what's the point in livin' Unless you're livin' wild No chains can hold me down I always break away I never hear society Tell me what to do or say I taste the life that pleases me I raise a storm For all the world to see I never stumble or never fall Never stop for rest I rebel but I walk tall And I demand respect I move amongst the nightlife And they just step aside 'Cause when they see me comin' They know I'm runnin' wild I'm runnin' wild You better believe it, oh I'm runnin' wild Get outta my way I'm runnin' wild I'm runnin' wild

Life is like a mountain railway With an engineer that's brave We must make the run successful From the cradle to the grave Watch for curves and hills and valleys Never falter never fail And keep your hands upon the throttle And your eye upon the rail Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Till we reach that blissful shore Where the angels wait to join us In God's praise forevermore As you roll across the trestle Spanning Jordan's swelling tide You behold the Union Depot Into which your train will glide There you'll meet the Superintendent God, the Father, God, the Son With a hearty joyous greeting Weary pilgrim, welcome home Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Till we reach that blissful shore Where the angels wait to join us In God's praise forevermore Blessed Savior, Thou wilt guide us Till we reach that blissful shore Where the angels wait to join us In God's praise forevermore Where the angels wait to join us In God's praise forevermore So turn it on, turn it up And sing along

Down by the salley gardens My love and I did meet I passed the salley gardens So gently on my feet I bid him take love easy As the leaves grow on the tree But he being young and foolish With me not want agree In a field down by the river My love and I did stand And on his leaning shoulder I gently laid my hand I bid him take life easy As the grass grows on the weirs But he was young and foolish And now he is full of tears Down by the salley gardens My love and I did meet I passed the salley gardens So gently on my feet I bid him take love easy As the leaves grow on the tree But he being young and foolish With me he not want agree
