Run Daddy Run Lyrics

[Intro]
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

[Verse 1]
All the songs you used to sing to me
Would rock birds to sleep
I need you now so please somehow
Put rockets on your feet

[Break]
Oh oh oh oh

[Chorus]
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

[Bridge]
Saw that dark cloud coming from a million miles away
Oh how I’ve dreaded this god forsaken day

[Chorus]
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

[Verse 2]
Mama’s been crying in the kitchen
Sister’s been afraid of the dark
I've been gathering the pieces of all these shattered hearts
And I don’t care where you go to
And I don’t care where you land
But just get out of there daddy as fast as you can
[Break]
Oh, Oh, Oh

[Chorus]
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run

[Outro]
Run Daddy run, run daddy run, run daddy run

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
