[Chorus 2] I’m a desperate man     I gotta keep on running     I gotta do what I can         To get back to you        [Chorus 3] I’m a desperate man     I gotta keep on running     Running back to you         Nobody else will do                [Solo]   8x [Chorus 4] I’m a desperate man     I gotta keep on running     Running back to you         Nobody else will do
