Runnin'
Jake Miller · Other Songs - Jake Miller
First thing tomorrow morning
Say goodbye to all that we know
Leave a note in your room as a warning
That you took a lifelong vacation
And ya probably won't return home
Don't care 'bout the destination
As long as we are alone
When the sun comes up
Let's roll
Grab your stuff
Let's go
We on cruise control
Yeah, we on cruise control
Top back with the windows down
Yeah girl let's ditch this town
Start a new chapter, write a new story baby
Let's hit the ground runnin' runnin' runnin'
Pack ya bags baby let's go
Stop for nothin' nothin' nothin'
Flyin' down the open road
Yeah, just keep on runnin' baby
Just keep on runnin'
We'll leave it all behind, we won't stop for nothing
Just keep on runnin' baby
Just keep on runnin'
Just keep on runnin' baby, hit the ground runnin'
Let's start this journey
We can wake up extra early
And leave while the world still sleepin'
Just follow me and don't worry
Yea your heart's my compass
I can take you wherever you please
I'll even let you drive baby girl
Just take my keys
When the sun come up
Let's roll
Grab your stuff
Let's go
We on cruise control
Yeah we on cruise control
Top back with the windows down
Yeah girl let's ditch this town
Start from scratch, we could start over baby
Let's hit the ground runnin' runnin' runnin'
Pack ya bags baby let's go
Stop for nothin' nothin' nothin'
Flyin' down the open road
Yeah, just keep on runnin' baby
Just keep on runnin'
We'll leave it all behind, we won't stop for nothing
Just keep on runnin' baby
Just keep on runnin'
Just keep on runnin' baby, hit the ground runnin'
Yeah we be rockin' and rollin'
There ain't no stoppin' or slowin'
Yeah we be comin' and goin'
And leavin' town with no warning oh woah (oh woah)
Yeah we be rockin' and rollin'
There ain't no stoppin' or slowin'
Yeah we be comin' and goin'
And leavin' town with no warning oh woah (oh woah)
Let's hit the ground runnin' runnin' runnin'
Pack ya bags baby let's go
Stop for nothin' nothin' nothin'
Flyin' down the open road
Let's hit the ground runnin' runnin' runnin'
Pack ya bags baby let's go
Stop for nothin' nothin' nothin'
Flyin' down the open road
Yeah, just keep on runnin' baby
Just keep on runnin'
We'll leave it all behind, we won't stop for nothing
Just keep on runnin' baby
Just keep on runnin'
Just keep on runnin' baby, hit the ground runnin'
About Runnin'
Jake Miller's "Runnin'" stands as a defining track from his early solo career, capturing the raw, introspective energy that characterizes his work in the emo and indie rock genres. Released alongside other notable singles like "The Drive Thru" and "Let You Go," the song reflects Miller's ability to blend personal vulnerability with driving musical arrangements. While often associated with his collaborative efforts on the album *Us Against Them*, "Runnin'" was released as a standalone recording that showcased his signature vocal style and songwriting approach. The track resonated with fans of the mid-2010s indie scene, contributing to Miller's growing reputation as a songwriter capable of crafting emotionally resonant narratives without relying on explicit lyrical exposition. Its enduring appeal lies in its authentic delivery and the way it encapsulates a specific moment in the evolution of modern alternative music.
