Lyrics

[Verse 1]

One hundred days, two thousand miles

To you I'd run through day and night

We've got to finish what we've started

We've got a lot to rescue, darlin'

[Verse 2]

My shirt is torn, these shoes are worn

My birth's been drawn, but still I'm strong

I feel like I'm a force of nature

I guess that makes you my creator

[Verse 3]

Tryna stop a river when it wants to rise

Tryna stop a blaze of a burnin' fire

I'm a hurricane that ain't stoppin'

No, no, no-oh, oh

[Verse 4]

And I can keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin' back for more, oh-oh

No, no

Keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin' back for more, no

[Verse 5]

I've got to tell you now

I've crossed the world

I've crossed through time

And givin' up never crossed my mind

[Verse 6]

I feel like I'm a force of nature

I guess that makes you my creator

[Verse 7]

Tryna stop a river when it wants to rise

Tryna stop a blaze of a burnin' fire

I'm a hurricane that ain't stoppin'

No, no, no-oh, oh

[Verse 8]

And I can keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin' back for more, oh-oh

No, no

Keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin' back for more, no-no, oh

Yeah, I can

[Verse 9]

Tryna stop a river when it wants to rise

Tryna stop a blaze of a burnin' fire

I'm a hurricane that ain't stoppin'

No, no, no-oh, oh

[Verse 10]

Well, I can keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin'

No, no, no-oh

Keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin'

I can keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin' back for more, oh-oh

I can keep running

And I keep, keep running

And I keep, keep comin' back for more, no-oh
