Iron Maiden - Running Free Lyrics






Just sixteen, a pickup truck, out of money, out of luck.
I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go.

[Chorus]
I'm running free yeah, I'm running free.
I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free.

Spent the night in an L. A. jail, and listened to the sirens wail.
They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free.

[Chorus]

Puller here at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop.
Now all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be

[Chorus]

  10. H.... S....

    I know they insist they all hated punk but you can't deny their first album (and Killers to a lesser extent) are pretty punky. A little rougher sounding, a little snottier.

  11. S.... K....

    👊👊👊 iron maiden one of the greatest!!!

  12. I.... R....

    I was 16 when this came out , still a fan in 2019 !

  13. L.... c....

  14. M.... N....

    Stoop calling this punk. It wasn't punk. They weren't trying to be punk. Steve Harris hated punk. This is Heavy Metal, coming in after Judas Priest had laid the roadwork.

  15. F.... D....

    Perfect.

  16. m.... g....

    Before them there was riot,But that's a whole other story,For maiden this is there best,Before the other singer,Can't even say his name, Screwed them up.

  17. Y.... j....

    The original Iron Maiden with Paul Di'anno. Sanctuary / Running Free / Phantom of the Opera - great stuff.

  33. n.... ....

    Phantom of the Opera with Paul is What got me into Maiden and will always be One of Thier Best...
    I like Iron Maiden more with Di'Anno but without Bruce they wouldn't be as big as they are.
    As much as I love Bruce, Di'anno just fits this album so much more

  34. S.... H....

    Man, these headphones aren’t loud enough

  35. M.... C....

    Señor de la Tienda me excita!!!

  36. L.... R....

    One of their best songs.Luve the bass and guitar riffs and of course the vocals!

  41. S.... R....

    This song makes me want to open the doors in COD black ops 2 zombies and run riot killing zombies

    Dieser Song ist bei weitem der beste Song von Maidens erstem Album.

  55. M.... L....

    Like si viniste aquí gracias a PRANKEDY :v

    My second Maiden's album and I'm still impressed! Paul Di'Anno had the touch!

  57. D.... G....

    Can we just drop the Paul/Bruce debate for a moment and appreciate Steve's virtuosic bass playing?

  58. R.... ....

  61. R.... D....

    Hundred

  62. M.... R....

    50 years old still running free...in the land of GOD ,GUN & GOVERNMENT.

  63. F.... L....

    I thought this was a good rock n roll song if I do say so myself.!

  64. Z.... C....

    THE IRON MAIDEN

  65. e.... 7....

    prankedy :v?

  66. D.... V....

    It's the first song I bought when I was a kid ! Am still a slave but someday I will can say "I'm running free yeah !"

  67. J.... ....

    Maiden with Dickinson never really did it for me but the first two albums with Di Anno stand out as some of the most energetic and memorable heavy music that I've ever heard. Fucking love this guy's voice.

  68. A.... L....

    No other band play with swing like Maiden.

  69. G.... C....

    paul bruce and blaze ill get drunk and sing along with them all but running free is my life theme song and has been since i was 13 im 37 now thats 25 yrs yrs running free

  70. B.... S....

    This song is about taking too much stool softener! True story

  71. R.... 2....

    One of Maidens best

  72. S.... M....

    Il ritmo è uno shuffle?

  73. N.... F....

    I'm old enough to remember this album being released and the critically panned follow up. It would be an interesting experiment to see how this album and Killers would sound with the current line-up.

  74. L.... G....

    True Metal

  75. G.... f....

    Just sixteen, a pickup truck
    Out of money, out of luck
    I've got nowhere to call my own
    Hit the gas, and here I go

    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free
    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free

    Spent the night in an L. A. jail
    And listened to the sirens wail
    They ain't got a thing on me
    I'm running wild, I'm running free

    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free
    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free

    Get out of my way

    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free
    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free

    Right?

    Puller here at the Bottle Top
    Whiskey, dancing, disco hop
    Now all the boys are after me
    And that's the way it's gonna be

    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free
    I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free

    Oh, I'm running free yeah
    I'm running free
    I'm running free yeah (I'm running, I'm running, I'm running, oh yeah yeah I'm running)
    I'm running free

  76. K.... C....

    The first song I'm listening to in 2019.!

  77. G.... O....

    Show de bola! 🖤

  78. H.... D....

    Paul Di Anno!! Punked Up Maiden ! Before Bruce stepped in a made them World Renowned !!

  79. J.... M....

    SUPERSONG! !!!!!

  80. A.... M....

    I remember buying this record when I was around 9...(I still have it...warped as fuck and covered with scratches) at an old headshop (for those of you unfamiliar, headshops used to be these small shops that used to carry everything from sex toys to drug paraphernalia to obscure music.)...Mind Dust music. LOL.
    Running Free is still my favorite Maiden song. It inspired my criminal activity.

  81. D.... A....

    Awesome badass song ever.

  82. E.... M....

    Alguien viene por prankedy

  83. D.... A....

    Wow it's been since high school for me since I heard this. It was brand new or a year old or so then and I'm sorry to say it's a whole lot worse than I remembered it. No wonder I was so glad when the Number of the Beast was released.

  84. D.... V....

    The beginning sounds like "The exploited"...

  85. S.... F....

    Di'anno Rocks, Love this song

  86. B.... X....

    Think of me going wild in the streets, as a perseverent guest, gone into the abyss! A skinhead gone wild like ever! Me, outside, at just sixteen. Me with my friends, having nowhere to call my own. I put the pedal to the metal. And here I am on my own, *_Running Free!_*
    -BigDog123456vr Productions introducing the song "Running Free" by Iron Maiden as if it was a statement.

  87. J.... ....

    Di'Anno rules. Harris hates punks. Bruce is a tool.

  88. S.... K....

    Running Free, Phantom of the Opera, The number of the Beast, Fear of the Dark. My favorite Iron Maiden songs.

  89. J.... x....

    I love the bass in this song .....the voice of paul di.anno is amazing

  90. B.... m....

  91. M.... K....
