Early life

She was in choir and played flute in the school marching band. Bowersox performed her first professional gig at the age of 10. She appeared at local bars in Toledo, most popularly Papa's Tavern, and The Village Idiot in Maumee, Ohio. At the age of 17, she moved to Chicago looking for opportunity.

In 2006, the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs chose Bowersox to represent Chicago folk musicians in the Sister Cities program "Experience Chicago", held in Birmingham, England. In 2007, Bowersox traveled internationally on an independent small cafe tour, including Memphis, Tennessee, Oaxaca, Mexico, and Ankara and Istanbul, Turkey.

On The Run

by: Crystal Bowersox

Ain't got no plans, no place to go
Where I stop, nobody knows
I'm singing something to myself
Wishing I was somewhere else
You ain't gotta go to be my friend
Cuz I don't know if I'll be back again
But if you want, wait all day
Come on come on come out and play
Cuz I, I'm on the run
And I'm just looking, to have me some fun
And I, I don't need nobody
Cuz I'm on the run
I'm on the run
And I ain't no superstitious Cajun queen
And I ain't trying to be no new James Dean
I ain't looking for a place to lay my head
Just a beach a bench or a flower bed
And now don't you fall in love with me
Cuz I have got to, got to be free
But if you want, wait all day
Come on come on come out and play
Cuz I, I'm on the run
And I'm just looking, to have me some fun
And I, well I don't need nobody, no, holdin' me down
I gotta get myself away from this town
I, well I don't want nobody, nobody holdin' me back
So don't you hold me back boy
No, we're gonna take it slow
(?) listen to the radio
I'm all dressed up, no place to go
Well I got my halo, I got my gun
Got my guitar, I got the sun
If it wasn't for the devil horns on my head
Love you boy until I'm dead
Cuz I, I'm on the run
And I'm just looking, to have me some fun, yeah
I, well I don't need nobody, nobody holdin' me down
I gotta get myself away from this town
I, I'm on the run
Yeah I'm just looking, to have me some fun, yeah
I, well I don't want nobody, no holdin' me down
I gotta get myself away from this town
I, and I don't want nobody, nobody holdin' me back
So don't you hold me back
Don't you hold me back baby
No I said don't you hold me back
Don't you hold me back baby
