A                           D
My home town is filled with broken dreams
A                                 E               D
Folks back there are running from life it seems
A                                    G    D
I left as a young man running from a memory
          A                       E
I'm still running  I'll always be running
A                                  D
My father died a broken man by his own hands
A                               E                      D
One of life's casualities lost in the sand
A                                   G      D
He showed us a way to love a way to understand
                   A                             E
He finally stopped running oh he finally stopped running
                    D           A            D           A
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
    E                         D            A
The love in his heart when he made it all right

Racing his mind that was never  won
             F#m       E                      A  E  D    A
So if you're gonna run what you running from
 A                       D
The years flew by like a runaway train
A                             E
I never caught up I never got use to change
A                                       G      D
Cause change is the only thing that I'd ever known
          A                     E
I'm still running and I'm still running
                    D           A            D           A
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
    E                         D            A
The love in his heart when he made it all right

Racing his mind that was never  won
             F#m       E                      A E D  A
So if you're gonna run what you running from
A                                D
With my face to the wind I stand all alone
A                        E
Scattered memories taken all I own
A                            G  D
A families love can help you along
              A                      E
But I'm still running I'll always be running
                    D           A            D           A
I can still see the fire in his eyes when he held my mom tight
    E                         D            A
The love in his heart when he made it all right

Racing his mind that was never  won
