“Running Man” describes how far the narrator has come, presumably from the city he has left behind in the last song, or perhaps from the partner he’s been involved with throughout the album (a possible reading of “Forrest”), who he apparently is still chasing.

For my money, yeah
[Verse 2]
Oooooh
What if I survive?
Is there a final "where" I'm gonna go?
And does that sound so weird?

[Outro]

Look at him
Look at him standing tall in the summer
And I wish I wasn't wasted tonight
The devil may come and get me
Lord, I'm afraid
(Look at all the sacrifice I have made)

Cause you take and you take and you take
Away
All the fight
All the pride
And I lay down
And I lay down
(Waiting for the man to come…)
(The devil said, "Hey Francis…")
