Huck Finn's On The Run

(专辑： The Jeff Sessions - 2017)

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

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
