Runaway Lyrics by The Slackers

Better Late Than Never

0

What you gonna do when they come for
Your old man, and they come for
Your best friend, and they come for you?
Then you better run, run away
Run down the alley up away
Smoke your cigarettes, drink your brew

You better...
Run, run away, you got to run away
Run, run away, but you'll never get away
Run, run away, you got to run away
Run, run away, but you'll never get a...

We've got to get away
We've got to get away
We've got to get away for salvation

What you gonna do when they ask your
Momma when you go, and they ask your
Sister when you go, and they just don't know?
Then you better duck in the bush
Hiding with your papers and a pistol
Waiting for the man, them a come, run Joe

Run, run away, you got to run away
Run, run away, but you'll never get away
Run, run away, you got to run away
Run, run away, but you'll never get a...

We've got to get away
We've got to get away
We've got to get away for salvation


What you gonna do when they ask your
Momma when you go, and they ask your
Sister when you go, and they just don't know?
Then you better duck in a bush
Hiding with your papers and a pistol
Waiting for the man, them a come, run Joe

Run, run away, you got to run away
Run, run away, but you'll never get away
Run, run away, you got to run away
Run, run away, but you'll never get a...

We've got to get away
We've got to get away
We've got to get away for salvation
