RUN RUN RUN song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

California here I come
run run run
run run run run
10 years sweating in the hot sun
run run run
run run run run

no more chain gang
god god damn
never go back
to Alabam

never gonna be
a slave again
watch them gutting
my best friend

gonna fly in the sun
run run run

I did time
for a petty crime
should have paid
just a little fine

but they said
you're a reprobate
the jury looked at
me with hate

they slammed the door
threw away the key
nobody cared
what they did to me

said that prison's
too good for you
here is what
we are gonna do

chain your feet
to the roadside gang
try escape
and you'll hear the bang

got two choices
is what they said
living hell
or you're next to dead

your life now is done
run run run

now I'm running I can't look back
men with shotguns on my track
bloodhounds sniffing on my trail
seems like the whole world's a jail

all I want is to be free
is that so much to ask of me
I aint bad I am merely down
I aint lost but I can't be found

my race aint been done
run run run

I wanna make it to Californ
a new man gonna be reborn
get a place in the Oakland hills
live my life gonna get my fill

get a wife and a couple kids
nobody know who I was or did
praise the Lord a God-fearing man
do the best all the good I can

but till that is done
run run run
