Matt Commerce - Running From The Police Lyrics

Now we were playing out in the backyard on a hot summer day,
When a man with a bag of groceries came tearing right through our game.
Now he was running like a mad man, and we thought that maybe he’d just lost his mind,
But then we saw them officers come chasing right behind (he was...)

RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (just a step ahead)
RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (with some milk and a loaf of bread)
RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (now it’s a dangerous game to play)
But he kept on goin’ cuz everybody know when they catch your ass them boys gonna make you pay

It was a high school house party, shoulder tappin’ Saturday night
Hangin’ out tryin’ to look kinda cool in the corner, all sippin’ on a natural light
And then a little while later had my feet up in the air, hand-standing on top of a keg
But then the lights flashed on and the next thing I know everybody let go of my legs (and we were...)

RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (all around that neighborhood)
RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (had to cut back through the woods)
RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (now it’s a dangerous game to play)
But we kept on goin’ cuz everybody know when they catch your ass them boys gonna make you pay

Oh but I got me a nice girl now, making sure I behave
Take her on down long walks on the beach, Watch the sunset on the waves
But some nights we get a little crazy, jump in and we leave our clothes
That’s why I always bring my running shoes Cuz you just never know (when you’ll be...)

RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (butt naked all covered with sand)
RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (holding on to my baby’s hand)
RUNNING FROM THE POLICE (now that’s a dangerous game to play)
But we gotta keep goin’ cuz everybody know when they catch you...
They ain’t gonna catch me RUNNING FROM THE POLICE..(repeat)
