Lyrics

[Verse]
Woke up at dawn with a rumblin' in my gut,
A smell so strong, it could knock you out, but
Tried to hold on, but Lord, it wasn't right,
I'm running wild, every hour, day to night.

[Verse 2]
Choppin' wood by the barn, when it hit me again,
Raced to the outhouse, barely made it, my friend,
Dog started howlin', think he's in pain,
Must be the chili or the last night's chow mein.

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm runnin' wild, can't catch a break,
Every time I turn around, there's another ache,
Cursed by the kitchen, or maybe a spell,
Either way, oh Lord, it’s a runnin' hell.

[Verse 3]
Missed the harvest supper, couldn’t take a chance,
Friends all laughin', seein' my funny dance,
Got a stack of TP, sittin’ by my side,
Feelin’ like I’m on a never-ending ride.

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm runnin' wild, can't catch a break,
Every time I turn around, there's another ache,
Cursed by the kitchen, or maybe a spell,
Either way, oh Lord, it’s a runnin' hell.

[Verse 4]
Mama said to stay off the pepper mill,
But I never listen, guess I never will,
Now I’m payin’ for it somethin’ fierce,
Run to the outhouse, my only recourse.
