Jennings, Mason - Everglades Lyrics

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
