I'm a kid in a classroom
sitting on her hands
I'm a wayward Baptist trying not to dance
I been looking in the mirror saying,
"Girl, you gotta chill"
But I can't sit still

I'm an outside dog on a inside leash
I'm a limb in the wind trying to shake off a leaf
I'm a raindrop running down a cracked windshield
I can't sit still

I ain't caught my breath since I took my first
So I guess I'll rest
when I'm in the dirt
It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill

I can't sit still
I can't sit still

When my hat's hung up
and my boots ain't on
Thoughts in my head have a mind of their own
I'm climbing up the the walls, I'm going downhill
I can't sit still

I ain't caught my breath since I took my first
So I guess I'll rest
when I'm in the dirt
It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill

I can't sit still
I can't sit still

Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running

I ain't caught my breath since I took my first
So I guess I'll rest
when I'm in the dirt
It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill
It's what brought me up, it's what breaks me down
Yeah, what got me here just might take me out
It's a sweet relief, it's a bitter pill
I'm an addict, it's a habit I can't kill

I can't sit still
I can't sit still

Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
Running and gunning and running
I can't sit still
