Nickelback - For the River

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Stuck in a cage, luck of the draw
Hours to wait, gotta get out
Lord, I gotta fight one
Get me a key, pick me a lock
Gotta be free, ready or not
Gotta run, gotta run
Gotta run, gotta run
Gotta run, gotta run

{Pre-Chorus}
Nowhere to hide 'cause someone's always gonna find you
Trying to breathe with everybody right behind you
Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints
Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance

{Chorus}
I'm running for the river
'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
I'm running for the river
You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me
Tell 'em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me

{Verse 2}
Let out the hounds, stand off the guards
Never be found, better than bars
"Damn it, he's a fast one"
Out of the tree's, into the swamp
Gotta be free, so don't ever stop
Gotta run, gotta run
Gotta run, gotta run
"God damn it, he's a fast one"

{Pre-Chorus}
Nowhere to hide 'cause someone's always gonna find you
Trying to breathe with everybody right behind you
Scattering leaves to try and cover up the footprints
Water ahead 'cause I can hear it in the distance

{Chorus}
I'm running for the river
'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
I'm running for the river
You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me
Tell 'em that you tried, but you're never gonna catch me

{Bridge}
Water ahead, 'cause I can hear it in the distance
(Gotta run, gotta run)
Water ahead, 'cause I can hear it in the distance
Water ahead, 'cause I can hear it in the distance
(Gotta run, gotta run)

{Chorus}
I'm running for the river
'Cause the river's running high and there ain't no goin' back
They'll never catch me
I'm running for the river
You can ride, you can fly, you can tell 'em that you tried
But there ain't no going back
They'll never catch me

{Outro}
They'll never catch me
Never gonna catch me
Never gonna catch me
They'll never catch me

Nickelback is a Canadian rock band that rose to fame in the early 2000s with their catchy melodies and powerful rock sound. The band was formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta by lead guitarist and lead vocalist Chad Kroeger, rhythm guitarist, keyboardist and backing vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger, and drummer Daniel Adair.

Originally starting out as a cover band called “The Village Idiots”, Nickelback eventually decided to change their name to something more unique. The name Nickelback was inspired by a phrase Mike Kroeger used to say when he worked at Starbucks, where he would give customers their change back by saying “Here’s your nickel back”.

Nickelback’s music quickly gained popularity, and the band became one of the most commercially successful Canadian groups of all time. With over 50 million albums sold worldwide, Nickelback is considered one of the best-selling music acts of the 2000s. In fact, they are the second best-selling foreign act in the United States, behind only The Beatles.

Billboard has ranked Nickelback as the top rock group of the decade, and their hit song “How You Remind Me” was listed as the top rock song of the 2000s. The band’s powerful sound and relatable lyrics have resonated with fans around the world, making them a staple in the rock music scene.

Nickelback continues to tour and release new music, solidifying their place as one of the most iconic rock bands of the modern era. Their unique blend of rock and pop influences has earned them a dedicated fanbase and cemented their status as rock music legends.
