Huck Finn's on the Run - MC Lars

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

(on the M I double SS, I double SS, I PP I)

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
