Lyrics

The Tucson Kid spent his days in Michigan
He’d left the desert by the age of nine
Killing time until the snow comes
Laying beneath the pines

He never really made it out of the desert
The Tucson Kid never really died

The Tucson Kid hit the ground running
But he caught his feet & he took a dive
Somehow he always brushed off the memory
Of how he got himself up everytime

I’ve never seen a man push harder
Than the Tucson Kid when he’s doing fine

& he’s still running, he’s running still
The Tucson Kid is running, to what only he can tell

In no time flat, the Kid was a Man
With debts & bills & changing plans
He’s running to catch what consequence left him
The Tucson Kid’s got the lay of the land

He saw our lives & disasters
Of the modern world, he ain’t a fan

But he’s still running, he’s running still
The Tucson Kid is running, to what only he can tell

He told me once that envy had caught him
Looking at my life from outside
I choked on my words then, I wish I’d have told him
You are my hero, you fill me with pride

You taught me to work hard, to roll with the punches
I’ll love you Kid till the day I die

Just keep on running, keep running still
The Tucson Kid is running, to what - never tell

Keep on running, keep running on and on
Keep on running man, keep on running man
