Band on the Run – Paul McCartney & Wings

“Band on the Run”


Stuck inside these four walls

Sent inside forever

Never seeing no one nice again,

Like you, mama

You, mama…

You…


If I ever get out of here

Thought of giving it all away

To a registered charity.

All I need is a pint a day

If I ever get out of here

(if we ever get out of here)


Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash

As we fell into the sun

And the first one said to the second one there,

“I hope you’re having fun.”


Band on the run, band on the run

And the jailer man,

And sailor Sam

Were searching everyone

For the band on the run, band on the run.

For the band on the run, band on the run.


Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh

Seeing no one else had come

And a bell was ringing in the village square

For the rabbits on the run.


Band on the run, band on the run

And the jailer man,

And sailor Sam

Were searching everyone

For the band on the run, band on the run.


Yeah, the band on the run

The band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run


Well, the night was falling

As the desert world began to settle down

In the town they’re searching for us everywhere

But we never will be found


Band on the run, band on the run

And the county judge, who held a grudge

Will search for ever more.

For the band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run

Band on the run
