Roadrunner
Junior Walker / Allstars Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Money, who needs it,
Let me live my life free and easy,
Put my toothbrush in my hand,
And let me be a travelin' man

'Cause I'm a road runner, aby.
I'm a road runner, baby,
Can't stay in one place too long,

I'm a road runner baby,

You might look at me and I'll be gone.
You can love me if you want to,
But I do declare,
When I get restless

I got to move somewhere
I'm a road runner baby,
Anywhere's my home,
And love the life I live,

And I'm gonna live the life I love
Road runner, baby.
Don't want no woman to tie me down,
Got to be free, baby

To roam around.
All my life I've been like this,
If you love me it's your own risk,
When the dust hit my shoe,

I got the urge to move
Says I'm a road runner baby,
Got to keep on keepin on.
And I live the life I love,

And I'm gonna love the life I live
Road runner, baby.

Line by Line Meaning

Money, who needs it,
I don't need money to be happy in life

Let me live my life free and easy,
I want to live my life without any restrictions or complications

Put my toothbrush in my hand,
I'm ready to travel at a moment's notice

And let me be a travelin' man
I want to live a life of constant travel and adventure

'Cause I'm a road runner, aby.
I'm a person who is always on the move

Can't stay in one place too long,
I'm not comfortable staying in the same place for an extended period of time

You might look at me and I'll be gone.
I'm not predictable, and I may leave without warning

You can love me if you want to,
I'm open to love, but it doesn't change my desire to keep moving

But I do declare,
I'm stating this as a fact

When I get restless
I become anxious and feel the need to move

I got to move somewhere
I have an innate desire to travel and explore new places

Anywhere's my home,
I can make myself at home anywhere I go

And love the life I live,
I'm content with the lifestyle I have chosen for myself

And I'm gonna live the life I love
I'm committed to living a life of adventure and travel

Don't want no woman to tie me down,
I don't want any romantic or personal attachments that would keep me from traveling

Got to be free, baby
I value my freedom and independence above all else

All my life I've been like this,
I have always had a desire to travel and explore

If you love me it's your own risk,
Choosing to love me means accepting my constant need to travel and be on the move

When the dust hit my shoe,
When I feel the urge to travel

I got the urge to move
I become strongly compelled to get up and go

Says I'm a road runner baby,
I'm someone who always needs to be on the move

Got to keep on keepin on.
I need to keep moving forward in life

And I live the life I love,
I'm living a life that brings me joy and fulfillment

And I'm gonna love the life I live
I'm committed to feeling happy and fulfilled in my life of constant travel and adventure

In August, 1967, my date, future wife for 46 years counting, went to a concert out in north west PA on a Sunday night where JW and his band were playing. At break, we talked to JW about his music and how much we liked the sound. Three years later we married and I am still "pulling him up on YouTuibe to celebrate that night! Absolutely Great! B & G

First time I heard this song was in an auditorium in Rotterdam when I was 16 in 1966. A black man and a white woman were dancing on stage on this music. It blew my mind. No one in the place was moving and I went crazy: aren't these people hearing what I'm hearing??!! It was the first soul track I ever heard and it changed my life!

When I was about 18, I saw this guy perform on stage. Man, he was so bloody good, at one point, during his solo, one of the backing musicians had to check to see if he was all right. Junior had bent backwards on his knees, and carried on playing the sax. He was okay incidentally. It was a brilliant gig.

As they said WORD 👍 Thanks you for letting me share my thoughts with you. Have a bless day 🙏 JAH LIVES ONE LOVE ❤️ Keep on Keeping on.🎧🎤🤝🤗👋

Brilliant song expertly performed by one of the most underrated groups of the sixties.

What a weave! The piano is pounding the chords, the guitar is interjecting those double-note bends, the organ is adding those wheezy fairground squeezes, the baritone sax is honking support to the bass, which is pedalling away with the kick-drum, tambourine on the off-beat, actually louder than the snare! Add vocal and mix! This is an absolute iconic track - and 1 person hasn't got ears. When the solo sax takes off you get goosebumps all across the shoulders and down the back. Peerless stuff!

As a 1960's Mod in England, this raunchy, sax driven belter was
everywhere, Great vocals, dirty sax, and a killer tune did it for us.

'The classic Motown sound with that epic background of flashing Tambourine and the bellowing Eb Baritone saxophone

This is so so good, I have loved it since it first came out. The sax playing is absolutely brilliant an all-time favourite of mine. Pure gold.

71 here and remember dancing the night away to tracks like this .. and later memories of Hendrix at I.O.W. 1970... wonderful times.

JGB live at the keystone is the ultimate rendition of this classic.

Truly one of my favourite dance records of all time. That saxophone solo is just so hypnotic.

When I get fed up with the year 2015 music? I flip to this to make me sane again. Bloody great sound and vibe. Down to earth that paved the way. This is a tight band. Thanks for the post.

+Rob Trust That's the Funk Brothers with Jr. Walker on sax. Jamerson is laying down incredible bass as always.

+Rob Trust "All my life I've been like this, if you love me, it's your own risk." Love that lyric. Thanks Eddie Holland, of Holland-Dozier-Holland.

These guys and many others paved the way for great bands from the sixties. Great music always survives. The Allstars helped artists to find a groove.

Jr Walker & The All Stars were indeed a great group. Remember, on the records, Jr. Walker performed with the Funk Brother instead of his group members.
