Everglades - Mason Jennings

On Chatham Bend

Two missing men

Came up with spades

From shallow graves

Belt buckles and rings

Worms and things

The killer he still

Watches from the reeds

Runner, runner

Runner, runner

Ain’t getting out alive

From the precinct boat

A narrow searchlight shown

Into the swampy depth

While I held my breath

Crocodile splash

Prehistoric past

I saw a shotgun flash

But never heard the blast

Never heard the blast

Runner, runner ooh

Runner, runner ooh

Ain’t getting out alive

Runner, runner ooh

Runner, runner ooh

Ain’t getting out alive

Through sun and shade

He makes his way

Through the lush parade

Of the everglades

Looking for, looking for

Open water

Looking for, looking for

A way out of here

Run away, no one can find you

Run away, no one can find you

Run away, no one can find you

Run away, no one can find you

Run away, no one can find you

Run away, no one can find you now

Through the water I sink

My brain can’t think

Try to picture my wife

Before I lose my life

One day my son

Will pay you back for what you’ve done

To these innocent men

On Chatham Bend

Runner, runner

Runner, runner

Ain’t getting out alive

Runner, runner ooh

Runner, runner ooh

Ain’t getting out alive
