One, two three

I'm running, I'm running as fast as I can go

I'm running, I'm running from all the things I know

Well, I had to leave it somewhere, so I left it far behind

I had to get away from all the trouble I might find

Run to the river, run to the sea

Run from the evil that's been calling you and me

If we keep rolling right out of town

We'll reach the promised land before they tear it down

Well, I'm running, I'm running just like a fast mail train

Running, I'm running, and I won't be back again

Nobody ever told me I'd be riding on the blind

The rumble and the rattle seem to ease my worried mind

Run to the river, run to the sea

Run from the evil that's been calling you and me

If we keep rolling right out of town

We'll reach the promised land before they tear it down

Run to the river, run to the sea

Run from the evil that's been calling you and me

If we keep rolling right out of town

We'll reach the promised land before they tear it down
