Run Daddy Run Lyrics

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
All the songs you used to sing to me would rock the birds to sleep
I need you now so please somehow put rockets on your feet
Wow wow wow wow

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
Saw that dark cloud coming from a million miles away
Oh how i’ve dreaded this god forsaken place
Wow wow wow wow

Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
Mamas been cryin in the kitchen
Sisters been afraid of the dark
I’ve been gatherin the pieces of all these shattered hearts
I don’t care where you go to
I don’t care where you land
Just get out of here daddy as fast as you can

Wow wow wow wow
Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near
Like a bullet from a gun, run daddy run
Run daddy run, run daddy run
Run daddy run, run daddy run

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Daddy can you hear the devil drawing near Like a bullet from a gun Run daddy run"

This is a song from Katniss to her father. He passed away in a mine explosion, and she says she still wakes up screaming for him to run. This is her thoughts and feelings put into a song!
