My answer to Lauper’s “Girls Just wanna have fun” which I played over and over last year but couldn’t get into.  Back then there was a sports bar called “Coaches” (still is), I have not been there for a long time since they went UFC, but that place is what I think of when I sing this song....but its actually inspired initially by a guy name Ted.

Found myself a bar, bought myself a beer

Look around to and fro, looks like the coast is clear

Bought myself another, not I’m feeling fine

My team just scored up on the screen, that girl she’s looking fine

I’m a man on the run.

Broke myself some dollars, bought myself some songs

Don’t want to sound to petty but free fall’s where my heart belongs

Now I feel the rhythm, now I feel the flow

She comes up to me, now, where do I want to go.

I’m a man on the run.

Found myself a highway, still weigh a load,

lets see what down that next exit

at the end of the road.
