Run Through the Jungle is a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) that was released in 1970. It was written by John Fogerty, the band’s lead singer and guitarist. The song is a fast-paced, energetic rock song with a driving beat. The lyrics tell the story of a soldier who is fighting in a war. He is tired of the fighting and wants to go home. He sings about how he is going to “run through the jungle” to get away from the war.

The song was a commercial success, reaching number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It has been covered by many artists, including Tom Fogerty, John Fogerty’s brother, and Bruce Springsteen.

“Run Through the Jungle” is a powerful song that captures the anti-war sentiment of the Vietnam War era. It is a song about the futility of war and the desire for peace. The song’s message is still relevant today, as wars continue to be fought around the world.
