Running Away

Bob Marley · Songs Of Freedom: Anniversary Edition [2006]

You running and you running

And you running away (repeat)



You running and you running

But you can't run away from yourself

Can't runaway from yourself,

Can't runaway from yourself,

Can't runaway from yourself (repeat)



You must have done,

Something wrong (repeat)

Why you can't find the

Place where you belong

Running away, running away,

Running away (repeat)



Every man thinketh his

Burden is the heaviest (repeat)

But who feels it knows it Lord

Who feels it knows it Lord,

Who feels it knows it Lord



You running and you running

And you running away (repeat)



You running and you running

But you can't runaway from yourself,

Could you runaway from yourself,

Can you runaway from yourself

Can't runaway from yourself,

Can't runaway from yourself



You must have done, something,

Something, something something,

Something, you don't want nobody to

Know about, you must have ... Lord.

Something wrong you must have done,

You must have done, something wrong

Why you can't find where you belong



Well, well, well, you running away,

Running away, no, no, no,

I'm not running away, don't say that

Don't say that, cause I'm not running away

I've got to protect my life,

And I don't want to live with no strife

It is better to live on the house top

Than to live in a house full of confusion

So, I made my decision and I left you

Now you coming to tell me

That I'm running away

But it's not true,

I am not running away
