Run Forrest, Run

Down in Alabama, where the river flows

A boy named Forrest, everybody knows

Running through the fields, chasing dreams

Life ain't always easy, or what it seems

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Through the rain and under the sun

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Life's a journey, never done

Mama always said, life's a box of chocolates

Met Jenny on the bus, oh what a treat

Through the highs and lows, our love was true

From the schoolyard days, to the war's dark hue

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Through the rain and under the sun

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Life's a journey, never done

Shrimpin' with Bubba, in the bay so wide

Lieutenant Dan, by his side

Ping-pong champion, world to see

Forrest kept on runnin', wild and free

From coast to coast, he ran so far

Underneath the moon and the morning star

People joined along, found their way

Forrest led the path, day by day

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Through the rain and under the sun

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Life's a journey, never done

Feather in the wind, living free

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)

Feather in the wind, living free

Run, Forrest, run, (run Forrest, run)
