[Verse 1]
[F]Stuck in a cage
Luck of the draw
[A]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
[Em]Gotta run, gotta run
[B]Gotta run, gotta run
[A]Gotta run, gotta run
[Pre-Chorus]
[E]Nowhere to hide cause s[A]omeone'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]
[A]I'm running for the ri[Bm]ver[Em]
[A]Cause the river's been [D]high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
[A]I'm running for the riv[Bm]er[Em]
You can [A]ride, you can fly, you can t[Em]ell them that you dr[A]ive
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me
[A]Tell em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me
[Verse 2]
[B]Let out the hounds
Stand up the guards
Stand up and bow
[F]Better be the boss like the Ken[Em]nedy's
A fast one
Out of the tr[A]ees
Into the swamp
Gotta be frea[A]ks
They'll never stop
Gotta run, got[Em]ta r[Bm]un
Gotta run, gotta run
God damnit, it's a fast one
[Pre-Chorus]
[Em]Nowhere to hide cause so[A]meone'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]
[A]I'm running for the ri[Bm]ver[Em]
[A]Cause the river's been [D]high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
[A]I'm running for the riv[Bm]er[Em]
You can [A]ride, you can fly, you can t[Em]ell them that you dr[A]ive
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me
[A]Tell em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me
[Bridge]
[A]Water ahead because I can [F#m]hear it in the distance (gotta run)
[F]Water ahead because I can [Em]hear it in the distance
Water ahead because I can hear it in the distance (gotta run, gotta run)
