For The River Lyrics - Nickelback

Stuck in a cage, luck of the draw 

Always a way, gotta get out 

Road, I gotta find one 

Get me a key, pick me a lock 

Gotta be free, ready or not 

Gotta run, gotta run 

Gotta run, gotta run 

Gotta run, gotta run 

Nowhere to hide, 'cause someone's always gonna find you 

Trying to breathe with everybody right behind you 

Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints 

Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance 

I'm running for the river 

'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no going back 

They'll never catch me 

I'm running for the river 

You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried, but there ain't no going back 

They'll never catch me 

Tell 'em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me 

Let off the hounds, stand off the guards 

Never be found, better than bars 

"Damn it, he's a fast one" 

Not up the trees into the swamp 

Gotta be free, so don't ever stop 

Gotta run, gotta run 

Gotta run, gotta run 

"God damn it, he's a fast one" 

Nowhere to hide, 'cause someone's always gonna find you 

Trying to breathe with everybody right behind you 

Scattering leaves to try and cover up my footprints 

Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance 

I'm running for the river 

'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no going back 

They'll never catch me 

I'm running for the river 

You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried, but there ain't no going back 

They'll never catch me 

Tell 'em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me 

Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance 

Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance 

(Gotta run, gotta run) 

Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance 

Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance 

(Gotta run, gotta run) 

I'm running for the river 

'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no going back 

They'll never catch me 

I'm running for the river 

You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried but there ain't no going back 

They'll never catch me 

They'll never catch me 

Never gonna catch me 

Never gonna catch me 

They'll never catch me
