Lyrics

If the place you’re seeking
Could take away the bad
Pack it up, get on the boat, and
Maybe it’ll make you glad
Never walk through sorrow
Overlook the path
Trouble can’t catch up with you, no
As long as you are fast

Oh, why you running?
When fate is coming
If you try to get away
It will follow you again
Oh, why you running?
When fate is coming
If you try to get away
It will follow you again

Who you think you’re fooling?
No matter where you go
Affliction will be there with you
As sure as the wind blows
Tell me why you’re hiding
Like Jonah in the whale
Won’t you climb on out his throat
And The Lord will make you well

Oh, why you running?
When fate is coming
If you try to get away
It will follow you again
Oh, why you running?
When fate is coming
If you try to get away
It will follow you again

Oh, why you running?
When fate is coming
If you try to get away
It will follow you again
Oh, why you running?
When fate is coming
If you try to get away
It will follow you again

If you try to get away
It will follow you again
