Discover the story of the song > Lonely Bong – Cancer Bats

The protagonist is questioning what it is that makes him feel the need to travel and explore. He theorizes that it's something deep within his soul and points out different experiences he's had that have reinforced this feeling. He believes that he was born to run and that this road dog life is a blessing, not a curse. The chorus repeats the idea that just as a rooster crows in the morning sun, hawks must fly and road dogs must run.
