Stuck inside these four walls, Sent inside forever, Never seeing no one Nice again like you, Mama you, mama you. If I ever get out of here, Thought of giving it all away To a registered charity. All I need is a pint a day If I ever get out of here. If we ever get out of here... Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash As we fell into the sun, And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun. Band on the run, band on the run. And the jailer man and sailor sam Were searching every one For the band on the run, band on the run Band on the run, band on the run. Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh Seeing no one else had come, And a bell was ringing in the village square For the rabbits on the run. Band on the run, band on the run. And the jailer man and sailor sam Were searching every one For the band on the run, band on the run Band on the run, band on the run. Well, the night was falling as the desert world Began to settle down. In the town they're searching for us every where But we never w ill be found. Band on the run, band on the run. And the county judge who held a grudge Will search for evermore For the band on the run, band on the run Band on the run band on the run, Band on the run.

A faixa é construída em três partes distintas, cada uma com uma atmosfera diferente: o início suave e melódico, uma seção de soft‑rock mais intensa e, finalmente, a parte principal que descreve a fuga.
A linha “If we ever get out of here”, presente na segunda parte, foi dita por George Harrison em uma reunião de negócios dos Beatles e acabou sendo incorporada ao disco.
Na versão que tocou nas rádios norte‑americanas em 1974, a música foi encurtada de 5:09 para 3:50, eliminando quase integralmente a segunda parte e um verso que inicia com “Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh…”.
O trecho eliminado – “Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh…” – representa a única porção removida que não aparece em nenhuma outra edição da canção.
O tempo original da gravação, 5 minutos e 9 segundos, permanece apenas nas edições não editadas e nos lançamentos de coleções completas do álbum.
