I have to run so far to find a clear spot
Sun's all hottin' and a rottin' hot
Swamp's all rotten 'n' stinkin'
Vegetation's hot
Sleepin' in a bayou on a old rotten cot
Can't find my kind of folks havin' fun
I have to run, run, run, run
Run to find a clear spot
Can't shadow down on the sun big brown
Mosquitoes 'n' moccasins steppin' all around
'Fraid I'm gonna get hit
Sun's all hottin' and a rottin' hot
Vegetation's hot
Sleepin' in a bayou on a old rotten cot
Can't find my kind of folks havin' fun
Got to run, run, run, run
Run to find a clear spot
Can't shadow down on the sun big brown
Mosquitoes 'n' moccasins steppin' all around
'Fraid I'm gonna get hit
'Fraid I'm gonna get hit
I have to run so far to find a clear spot
