"Always on the Run" is the first single released from Mama Said by Lenny Kravitz. It features a notable collaboration by former Guns N' Roses guitarist, Slash. Slash had written the music for the song with the original intention of releasing it on a Guns N' Roses studio album but since former drummer Steven Adler had difficulty playing the song, he saved it for this eventual collaboration with Kravtiz.[1]

On Guns N Roses's Use Your Illusion Tour, Kravitz joined the band onstage, and played guitar and sang vocals for this track.

The song has been confirmed as included in the upcoming video game Guitar Hero: Aerosmith.
