When I lay down to take my rest
Most of the time my thought's on happiness
Some of the time, but not for long
I get a feelin' telling me what's to come
I see a picture showin' me what's undone

When I find out that you don't love me, honey
When I find out that you're goin' away
Be no surprise 'cause I saw you runnin', saw you runnin'
Saw you runnin' from where I lay

I got an eye upon the road
I got a hand to share my heavy load
I got a girl, oh, and I've got a gun
One is for fightin', the other one's just for fun
One is for fightin', the other one's just for fun

Yeah, when I find out that you don't love me, honey
When I find out that you're goin' away
Be no surprise 'cause I saw you runnin', saw you runnin'
Saw you runnin' from where I lay
Be no surprise 'cause I saw you runnin', saw you runnin'
Saw you runnin' from where I lay

(Instrumental Break)

Now, when I lay down to take my rest
You know that most o' the time my thought's on happiness
Some of the time, Lord, but not for long
I get a feelin' tellin' me what's to come
I see a picture showin' me what's undone

Yeah, when I find out that you don't love me, honey
When I find out that you're goin' away
Be no surprise 'cause I saw you runnin', saw you runnin'
Saw you runnin' from where I lay

When I find out that you don't love me, honey
When I find out that you're goin' away
Be no surprise 'cause I saw you runnin', saw you runnin'
Saw you runnin' from where I lay
