Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey!
Runnin' from the devil
Runnin' from the devil
[Verse 2]
I say I'm Runnin' from the devil, tryin' to save my soul
He ain't gonna catch me cause I'm never too slow
I'm Runnin' from the devil, It's gettin' mighty hot
Got to keep on truckin' because I'm on the spot
I've got to get away, I've got to get away (Keep On runnin')
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
(Keep On runnin', keep on runnin')
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Runnin' from the devil, tryin' to save my soul
[Verse 3]
I'm not gonna let him catch me
Because I'm never too slow
[Verse 4]
Keep on runnin' (I've got to get away)
Keep on movin' (I've got to get away)
Keep on runnin' (I've got to get away)
Keep on movin' (I've got to get away)
Keep on runnin' (I've got to get away)
Keep on movin' (I've got to get away)
Keep on runnin' (I've got to get away)
(I've got to get away)
[Verse 5]
I'm so tired
So tired, so tired
[Verse 6]
I ain't gonna let that man catch me
Oh, no, no, no, no! (I'm gonna catch you)
It'll never be (I'm gonna catch you)
He ain't gonna catch me, not me
Man, I'm steppin' too fast, steppin' to fast, huh
Yeah, gotta keep on movin', ya know?
(My Name's The Devil I'm after you, man)
(You know what I do)
(Don't let Me catch you)
I've got to get keep on runnin', runnin', runnin'
(When I catch you, it's all over with)
[Verse 7]
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
(Runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin')
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
(Runnin' from the, runnin' from the devil)
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
[Verse 8]
I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
[Verse 9]
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
Keep on movin'
[Verse 10]
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
I've got to get away, I've got to get away
