          D                               A
He was a poor boy, raised in a small family
                   D                                      A
He kind of had a craving for something no one else could see

They said that he was crazy, the kind that no lady should meet
He ran off to the city, and wandered around in the street

Chorus:
             E
He wants to dance,
He wants to sing,
             G
He wants to see the lights a flashing,
     D                   A
And listen to the thundering

He saw it in a window, the mark of a new kind of man
He kind of liked the feeling, so shiny and smooth in his hand

He took it to the country and practiced for days without rest
And then one day he felt it, he knew he could stand with the best

Chorus:
They got respect,
He wants the same,
And it's a certain kind of fool
Who likes to hear the sound of his own name

A poster on a storefront, the picture of a wanted man
He had a reputation spreading like fire through the land

It wasn't for the money, at least it didn't start that way
It wasn't for the running, but now he's running everyday
