I'm Not Running Anymore - John Mellencamp

Holly told me, «You better give me a child»

I said, «Holly, there’s no way

We don’t even like each other all that much

We couldn’t make it one more day»

She said, «You better look out, buster

The next time you see me you’re gonna pay»

I said, «Holly, I’m not running anymore

But I’m on my way»

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

But I’m not running anymore

Well I got two circus clowns here who like to fight

They got one black eye and a bloody nose

They are the hoodlums of my third wife

Whatever I say they will oppose

I try to teach those clowns something

Like how to make it day to day

I say, «Hey, you kids, I’m not running anymore

But I’m on my way»

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

And I’m not running anymore

Well I look in the mirror — what the hell happened to me?

Whatever I had has gone away

I’m not the young kid that I used to be

So I push the hair back out of my face

That’s O.K., I knew this would happen

But I was hopin' not today

Hey Baby, I’m not running anymore

But I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

And I’m not running anymore

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

I’m on my way

And I’m not running anymore

For sure!
