For the River

Stuck in a cage, luck of the draw Always a way, gotta get out Road, I gotta find 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 Nowhere to hide, 'cause someone's always gonna find you Trying to breathe with everybody right behind you Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance I'm running for the river 'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no going back They'll never catch me I'm running for the river You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried, but there ain't no going back They'll never catch me Tell 'em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me Let off the hounds, stand off the guards Never be found, better than bars "Damn it, he's a fast one" Not up the trees into the swamp Gotta be free, so don't ever stop Gotta run, gotta run Gotta run, gotta run "God damn it, he's a fast one" Nowhere to hide, 'cause someone's always gonna find you Trying to breathe with everybody right behind you Scattering leaves to try and cover up my footprints Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance I'm running for the river 'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no going back They'll never catch me I'm running for the river You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried, but there ain't no going back They'll never catch me Tell 'em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance (Gotta run, gotta run) Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance (Gotta run, gotta run) I'm running for the river 'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no going back They'll never catch me I'm running for the river You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried but there ain't no going back They'll never catch me They'll never catch me Never gonna catch me Never gonna catch me They'll never catch me
