[Verse 1]
             Bm                      D
When I was a young boy living in the city
              A               G
All I did was run run run run run
               Bm
Staring at the lights,
             D
they look so pretty
            A               G
Momma said “son son son son son
                  Bm                   D
You’re gonna grow up, you’re gonna get old
         A                      G
All that glitters don’t turn to gold
          Bm                  D
But until then just have your fun
     A               G
Boy, run run run run run”

When I was a young kid

living in the city

All I did was pay pay pay pay pay
                 Bm
And every single dime that
          D
good Lord gave me
                A            G
I could make it last 3, 4, 5 days
          Bm                 D
Living it up but living down low
             A                 G
Chasing that luck before I get old
                  Bm              D
And looking back, oh, we had some fun
    A               G
Boy run run run run run
