Run for Cover Songtext
von Nelson Riddle

Run for cover, run for cover, ay, ay, ay, ay

Head for the hills, hit the trail
When trouble′s on the run (Run for cover)
Don't find yourself locked in jail
For something you ain′t done

Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, ay

If your love has been blessed with an angel face
But the devil, oh, he's roped her soul
Better ride for the plains and the open space
And forget every kiss you stole

Run for cover (Run for cover), ay, ay, ay, ay


Men who are slow on the draw
When bullets start to fly (Run for cover)
Men who have broken the law
But still don't want to die

Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, ay

Though a man thinks he′s born with a hero′s heart
He's afraid when he′s on his own
Just a fool takes a chance in a hero's part
When he′s facing the odds alone
You must run for your life like the wind
To live another day (Run for cover)

Run for cover (Run for cover), ay, ay, ay, ay
