[Verse 1] Stuck in a cage Luck of the draw Hours to wait Gotta get out Lord I gotta fight one Get me a key Pick me a lock Gotta be free ready or not Gotta run gotta run Gotta run gotta run Gotta run gotta run [Pre-Chorus] Nowhere to hide cause someone’s gotta find you Trying to breathe when everybody right behind you Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance [Chorus] I’m running for the river Cause the river’s been high and there ain’t no goin’ back They’ll never catch me I’m running for the river   You can ride you can fly you can tell them that you drive But there ain’t no going back They’ll never catch me Tell em that you tried but you’re never gonna catch me [Verse 2] Let out the hounds Stand up the guards Stand up and bow Better be the boss like the Kennedy’s A fast one Out of the trees Into the swamp Gotta be freaks They’ll never stop Gotta run gotta run Gotta run gotta run God damnit it’s a fast one [Pre-Chorus] Nowhere to hide cause someone’s gotta find you Trying to breathe when everybody right behind you Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance [Chorus] I’m running for the river Cause the river’s been high and there ain’t no goin’ back They’ll never catch me I’m running for the river   You can ride you can fly you can tell them that you drive But there ain’t no going back They’ll never catch me Tell em that you tried but you’re never gonna catch me [Bridge] Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance (gotta run) Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance (gotta run gotta run) [Chorus] I’m running for the river Cause the river’s been high and there ain’t no goin’ back They’ll never catch me I’m running for the river   You can ride you can fly you can tell them that you drive But there ain’t no going back They’ll never catch me Tell em that you tried but you’re never gonna catch me [Outro] They’ll never catch me Never gonna catch me Never gonna catch me They’ll never catch me
