Lyrics:
Its gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
Theres nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Band on the Run is the third studio album by the British–American rock band Paul McCartney and Wings, released in December 1973. It was McCartneys fifth album after leaving the Beatles in April 1970. Although sales were modest initially, its commercial performance was aided by two hit singles – «Jet» and «Band on the Run» – such that it became the top-selling studio album of 1974 in the United Kingdom and Australia, in addition to revitalising McCartneys critical standing. It remains McCartneys most successful album and the most celebrated of his post-Beatles works.
