I’ve seen the rise of the poor
Tired from the starvation and the strife
And as they fight to live another day
I won’t run anymore

I won’t run anymore from no one
From my friends and my foes
I ain’t the coward you used to know
I’m going to be a different man from now on

I’ve been with the jazz bands
Trying to earn some pennies on the road
And with these battles I now swear
I won’t run anymore

And I’ve seen the ghosts from my past
And had my days clouded with fear
But I fought to win so I can say
I won’t run anymore

I won’t run anymore from anything
From the good things and the bad ones
I’ve stayed in the dark alleys for so long
I’m going to be a different man from now on

I went to the south and I’ve faced death
And I burned many bridges on the road
It’s time to end this nightmare
I won’t run anymore

In the land of repression
I’m at standing at your door
Hoping that you can hear me say
I won’t run anymore

I won’t run anymore from you baby
I’ve dealt with myself and I won
It don’t matter if you take me or not
I’m going to be a different man from now on
