Rear brake lights

My trucks rear brake lights do not come on unless the key is on does anybody elses truck do that? Is there a lead I can change to a constant hot? Or is there something wrong with my wiring?

Thanks
Jack

Not to sound too much like an idiot but why would you want them to be on if the ignition is off? In a way it's a good thing. I have a problem with my brake lights staying on after the truck is parked. I can look at my wiring schematic once I get home. I'll post what I find as far as wire routing and connections.
