Riot - Running From The Law Lyrics
Running from the law for something I did not do fearful of the lies fighting for the truth
I can't let them catch me my life it will be done so when evening comes I'll be on the run
Running through the hills got no place to hide racing with the wind I got you by my side
A fugitive chasing after destiny freedom never shines oh down on me yeah
Running from the law reaching for the sky never turn my back on shadows in the night running from the law
And when the morning comes if they're not at my door I'll keep myself alive running ever more
Running from the law reaching for the sky never turn my back on shadows in the night oh running from the law oh oh
Aaaah running from the law for something I did not do fearful of the lies fighting for the truth oh
A fugitive chasing after destiny freedom never shines down on me yeah
Running from the law reaching for the sky never turn my back on shadows in the night
Running from the law running from the law running from the law

I bought this album back in the day. At the time I didn't think too much of it. Wish I had it today, I think I was too young to really appreciate it back then.
Anyone know if this record is still available?

I barely heard this song today and I can't get enough of it!
Can anyone tell me where I can find the sheet music to this song? Or how to contact someone to gain the legal rights to use this song in a choir setting?
Riot will always be one of my favorite acts from this period. They were just a bunch of simple blue jeans and tshirt wearing American guys, they had no gimmics, no outrageous garments. What they had was good songs and it was always kick ass rock & roll. American Metal at it's finest. RIP Guy Speranza, Mark Reale, Rhett Forester
Mark Reale was awesome.
Every Riot lp was f'n right on with the volume on ten!!
sounds like Judas Priest ..:) ..Great song
The Ripper! Mark Reale R.I.P.
\m/ Running From The Law \m/
this song has a priest vibe bout it! fuckin rocks regardless man!
hide my bunny wabbit?????????????????
look at the year? Ahead of their time!
The image on the the cover looks like an overgrown infant with a battle axe. WTF !? Ha Ha... The Music is ok
Old school killer hard Rock/Metal. I miss Rhett and Mark everyday.
I here some judas priest in there
pvs vedder big Man !!!! they were a little b4 than the priest guys got to America! or the NWOBM 1976 *1977 Riot is one of the Best Hard Rock acts of that era and I did say Hard Rock cuz Metal wasn't born yet!!!!
@Willie Vega we talk about 1983 now and not about 1977...and the Priest influence in this song is pretty obvious(and this is not bad at all)! Many artists were being influenced from bands that appeared the same time or even after them! Metallica always mention Mercyful Fate as their influence and also Mark Shelton of Manilla Road admits that the albums he released in the period 1987-1990 were faster and "thrashier" because he was listening a lot to Metallica and Voivod(both bands released debut albums after Manilla Road)
...just found this while googling "running from the law" how is this not the most popular song of all time?
I will tell you, Its because the music industry does not care about putting quality music (rap music is testament to that) but interested in what they can sell. And because of their bad management and the up and coming glam metal bullshit, they never got the recogition for the great band they were, and they drifted apart. It is sad, because quite frankly this stuff blows away any of the newer stuff I hear. Riot was a band of ordinary American guys, no frills, not weird dress or outrageous costumes, just kick ass rock & roll about real life stufff. Face it, the music iondustry SUCKS
I completely agree with you rbagel55. Music (and metal) should be considered just for what it really is, Riot was the symbolic case in which a band out of mainstream for trends and look paid with a really unrespectful recognition of their albums. Just ask to any non-metal listener, everyone knows Painkiller from JP, but who knows Thundersteel from Riot?
Great times... awesome tunes...80's rule!! RIOT!!!!
Nvm this isn't the one i was looking for
I dont like much metal but this is one of my favorite songs
I miss the music from this era.
If your kids ask you what true old school metal sounds like play this for them...
Timeless !!!!
¡¡AGUANTE RIOT!!
R.I.P. Mark Reale
