PEOPLE ON THE RUN
Wake up, little boy
Now it's time to brave the cold
All the voices in your head
Telling you to stay in bed
Wake up, little girl,
Time to wake and feed the bird
Now it's time to ring the bell
Show your mind is not for sale
Hope you get what you deserve
Hope your flame will always burn
Hope you're higher than the sun
Not like these people on the run
Wake up, shady boy
Time to play and write a song
Sing about a lucky man
That people never understand
Wake up, lazy girl
Now it's time to free the bird
Does your place of reverie
Is a house upon a tree
Hope you get what you deserve
Hope your flame will always burn
Hope you're higher than the sun
Not like these people on the run
Not like these people on the run
Not like these people on the run

[Chorus]
They really don’t know

That I’m motivated

But it’s really gonna show

How I am dedicated

Got my bags packed and

I’m headed to the top floor

This my destiny

And I’m ready for the big show

They really don’t know

That I’m motivated

But it’s really gonna show

That I am dedicated

Got my bags packed and

I’m headed to the top floor

This my destiny

And I’m ready for the big show

[Verse]

Prepare for my moment

Cause I really want it

Got nothing to prove

I already done it

I already showed you how far

I’m willing to go

Straight out of high school

And now I’m ready for the pros

I’m one of the best

I know that they know

I’m feeling so high

Cause I done been low

Had so many days wondering nowhere to go

I had to light the fuse

Now I’m ready to blow

I’ve been down bad
I came from broke

They don’t wanna see me angry

They don’t want this smoke

It’s so thick out here

You just might choke

I got this weight off me

Now it’s time to float

[Chorus]

They really don’t know

That I’m motivated

But it’s really gonna show

How I am dedicated

Got my bags packed and

I’m headed to the top floor

This my destiny

And I’m ready for the big show

They really don’t know

That I’m motivated

But it’s really gonna show

That I am dedicated

Got my bags packed and

I’m headed to the top floor

This my destiny

And I’m ready for the big show

[Verse 2]

To the big show

To the big show

That’s my Destiny

That’s where I want to go

To the big show

To the big show

That’s my Destiny

That’s where I want to go

You know that I want it

And this is my moment

You know that I want it

And this is my moment

Got my bags packed

Headed to the top floor

This my Destiny

I’m headed to the big show

[Chorus]

They really don’t know

That I’m motivated

But it’s really gonna show

How I am dedicated

Got my bags packed and

I’m headed to the top floor

This my destiny

And I’m ready for the big show

They really don’t know

That I’m motivated

But it’s really gonna show

That I am dedicated

Got my bags packed and

I’m headed to the top floor

This my destiny

And I’m ready for the big show

Verse 1

Well, I’m going down to the St. James Infirmary,

to see my baby there

She was all stretched out,

on a long white table

So sweet, so cold, so bare

Verse 2

Let her go, go !
Ahh, my little Baby, Where ever she can be
You may search this whole world all over

But she’d never find a sweet man like me

Verse 3

Now, when I die, bury me in Stetson shoes
A Stetson coat, and a Stetson hat

And put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain

So the cats know, that I died fat

Ad Lib

St. James Infirmary, where can my baby be ?

It’s just at St. James Infirmary, yeah

Let my baby go, let my baby go
Let my Baby go, go, go

Let my Baby go !
