I'm gonna die laying down
I tell you baby, I just don't care no more!
I laugh like your baby
I'm all through just paying my dues
Lord, I cry like your clown
But I'm through paying my dues
I'm all through just paying my dues
I'm gonna die laying down
And I'm on the run
I'm through with you
Talk about all your cares and woe
Well, I was born standing up
'Cause I'm a man on the run
'Cause I'm a man on the run
And I'm on the run
I tell you baby, I'm all through
Why, you can laugh all day
You can cry all night, turn me on
'Cause I'm a man
I'm all through paying my dues
Well, I was born standing up
I laugh like your baby
I'm through with you
But I'm through paying my dues
And I'm on the run
'Cause I'm a man
Guess, I'm through with you, oh
Or you can shut off my lights
I tell you baby, now I'm all through
Lord, I cry like your clown
'Cause I'm a man
'Cause I'm a man on the run
