"Run Run Run" lyrics

It's in my blood
It's in the water
It's in the mirror looking back
I see my father
Hey
It's in my hands
It's in the colours
It's in the city
From the flowers to the gutters

We had to go
This town was slowly killing us, k-k-killing us
The open road was paved with gold ahead of us, ahead of us

We started run-run-running when we were young
We had our hopes up high as the rising sun
We're gonna run run run till the day is done
But we won't forget where we came from
We started run-run-running when we were young
We'd come a long long way and we'd just begun
We're gonna run run run till the day is done
But we won't forget where we came from

So pick a star
That we can follow
Instead of wishing on the whiskey in the bottle
A couple kids
Caught in the middle
Having dreams so big in a place so little

We had to go
This town was slowly killing us, k-k-killing us
The open road was paved with gold ahead of us, ahead of us

We started run-run-running when we were young
We had our hopes up high as the rising sun
We're gonna run run run till the day is done
But we won't forget where we came from
We started run-run-running when we were young
We came a long long way and we'd just begun
We're gonna run run run till the day is done
But we won't forget where we came from

Keep you close to my heart
Like the tattoo on my chest
Only miss it when you're gone
Only know it when you left

Keep you close to my heart
Like the tattoo on my chest
Only miss it when you're gone
Only know it when you left

We started run-run-running when we were young
We had our hopes up high as the rising sun
We're gonna run run run till the day is done
But we won't forget where we came from
We started run-run-running when we were young
We came a long long way and we'd just begun
We're gonna run run run till the day is done
But we won't forget where we came from

Come on
We won't forget where we came from
Come on
We won't forget where we came from
