Music has been my longest and most trusted companion. It has always been there for me when nothing else would satisfy. I took a long break from music due to some personal reasons, and sang for many years alone..in my basement. This year I decided to make a youtube account for my family and friends so they could still hear me sing, without feeling out of my comfort zone. And now here I am, for all the world to hear haha! I hope you enjoy my covers, and I am happy to take on requests <3 Be Blessed!

This song is dedicated to Layne and Ainsley. Layne is one of my wonderful subscribers who asked me to cover this song for his niece, Ainsley, as it is their favourite song. I love doing songs that have special meaning for people, and this one was a very special request that I am honoured to do for them.
I chose a slower, piano version for this cover to capture the essence and feeling of the song, it goes much deeper than the lyrics itself. I hope you like it!

Lyrics:

Robert's got a quick hand
He'll look around the room
He won't tell you his plan
He's got a rolled cigarette
Hanging out his mouth
He's a cowboy kid

Yeah he found a six-shooter gun
In his dad's closet, in the box of fun things
I don't even know what
But he's coming for you, yeah he's coming for you

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Daddy works a long day
He be coming home late, and he's coming home late
And he's bringing me a surprise
'Cause dinner's in the kitchen and it's packed in ice

I've waited for a long time
Yeah the sleight of my hand is now a quick-pull trigger
I reason with my cigarette
Then say, "Your hair's on fire, you must've lost your wits, yeah?"

[Chorus x2:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet

Run, run, run, run, ru-ru-ru-run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run
Ru-ru-ru-run, run, run, run, run, run

[Whistling]

[Chorus x4:]
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, outrun my gun
All the other kids with the pumped up kicks
You better run, better run, faster than my bullet
