Song written originally as a Punk Rocker; now grew a sound of it's own as I re-recorded it 27 years later.Lyrics are not the most original,But that's exactly how I felt at 21 back in 1976.

Story behind the song
I was tired of my shrink and everybody getting on my case. made me feel like I had to run away.That's why the title.Nobody stole my car and my house never went up in flames, but I felt that way...
Lyrics
My folks don't understand me,
My analyst's a fool!
The Lithium he gives me
is making me uncool.
Last night, my girl she left me
Today I lost my job!
I'm gonna have to borrow
cause I sure don't wanna rob
on the run
got nowhere to go
on the run
why should life be so
have no fun
my mind it is twisting
on the run
the fun I'll be missing
my car ,oh it was stolen
my house went up in flames!
I'll drown my mind in whiskey
forget it with some games
this tough luck I've been having
seems to have no end
I think I'll take a six pack
go out and find some friends
on the run
got nowhere to go
on the run
why should life be so
have no fun
my mind it is twisting
on the run
the fun I'll be missing
