MC Lars - Huck Finn's on the Run lyrics

Broken glass everywhere
Pa is passed out on the stairs
You know he just don't care
I couldn't take the beatings
Couldn’t take the noise
So I faked my own death
Guess I had no choice
Miss Watson always said, "Huckleberry
Sit up straight!"
Plus I always hated school
So I planned my escape
Hog’s blood on the axe
Smeared all over the desk
So they’d think that I was murdered
In a lovely bloody mess
Laughing in the shadows by the river
Feeling free jackson’s Island, very silent
Saw the stars up through the trees
That’s when I heard some
Sounds in the bushes, it was Jim
He thought I was a ghost


‘till I hugged him with a grin
And I’d never turn him in
- my partner in crime
The thunder started rumbling but we found
A cave just in time
Eating cornbread in the dark, I said "Jim
This is nice
I'm never going home I’m a runaway for life"

Huck Finn's on the run
(I be rolling on the river with
My buddy through the night)
Huck Finn's on the run
(on the M I double SS, I double SS, I PP I)
Huck Finn's on the run
(I be rolling on the river with
My buddy through the night)
Huck Finn's on the run
(on the M I double SS, I double SS, I PP I)

Uncivilized, what? that’s what
Everybody called me slave owning hypocrites
We’d be safe here probably
That’s when they tracked Jim and me
Down the island had to bounce
We made a decoy fire
Then we put the real one out
Rolling on the river on a raft him and me
St louis to the right glowing
Bright as could be-
All Jim wanted was his freedom
His wife and his kids
And when we got to Cairo
That dream was almost his
"You’re my only friend" he said
"the one who kept his promise"
It seems we're a team always open and honest
We hid and we slept and
We talked about King Solomon
If cats can talk to cows
Class and intolerance
Rafting down the river
Two outcasts full of hope
Searching for that freedom cause
We couldn’t really cope
With a bankrupt world full
Of sad crazy schemes
But now It’s time to get some sleep
Bud I’ll see you in my dreams

Huck Finn's on the run
(I be rolling on the river with
My buddy through the night)
Huck Finn's on the run
(on the M I double SS, I double SS, I PP I)
Huck Finn's on the run
(I be rolling on the river with
My buddy through the night)
Huck Finn's on the run
(on the M I double SS, I double SS, I PP I)

The Grangerfords and Shepherdsons they bring
Their guns to church like a Tarantino film
Stacking bodies in the hearse
Adults are so ridiculous
I can’t understand it
Why the Duke and the Dauphin
Are always ruining Hamlet (well)
They caught Jim - and put him in chains
Tom Sawyer tried to free him but
They shot him in the leg
Pandeomoimum, man I really missed the island
The catfish, and the moonlight and the
Cave and the silence
And then we heard the news - Jim was free!
Wish that we'd known that
Earlier, Miss Watson, rIP
And now I think Aunt Sally really
Wants to take me home
But this kid can not be civilized
I’d rather be alone so it’s off to Oklahoma
Then I’ll keep heading West
I'll dream about the river
And I’ll dream - about our quest
Jim - thanks for being a friend
To this kid from the sticks
Hope to see you again but now

Huck Finn's on the run
(I be rolling on the river
With my buddy through the night)
Huck Finn's on the run (on the M I double SS
I double SS, I PP I) huck Finn's on the run
(I be rolling on the river
With my buddy through the night)
Huck Finn's on the run (on the M I double SS
I double SS, I PP I)

Huck Finn's on the run
Huck Finn's on the run
Huck Finn's on the run
Huck Finn's on the run
