Sermon (feat. Margo Price)

Let me set the mood, set the situation

Imagine that you're sittin' in a congregation

Hear, he's talkin' 'bout Judgement Day

Listen real close, hear what he say

You better run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Gonna tell that long-tongue liar

Gonna tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambling rambler

Back-biter, God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Great God Almighty, let me tell you my need

My head's been wet with the midnight deed

I've been down on a bended knee

Talkin' to the man from Galilee

My God spoke, spoke so sweet

Thought I heard the shufflin' of angels' feet

Put one hand on my head

Great God Almighty, let me tell you what He said

You better run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Throw a rock, hide your hand

Workin' in the dark against your fellow man

Sure as God made the day and night

What you do in the dark will be brought to light

You may run and hide, slip and slide

Tryna take the mote from your neighbor's eye

Sure as the Lord, may be rich or poor

What you reap, my brother, is what you sow

You may run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

You may run on for a long time

God Almighty's gonna cut him down

Gonna tell that long-tongue liar

Gonna tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambling ,rambler

Back-biter, God Almighty's gonna cut him down

Some people go to church just to signify

Chat and make a date with the neighbor's wife

Let me tell you, brother, just as sure as you're born

Better leave that woman, better leave her alone

One of these days, mark my words

You think that your brother's gone off to work

You'll walk up, knock on the door

That's all, brother, there ain't no more

You better run on for a long time

Run on for a long time

You better run on for a long time

God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Gonna tell that midnight rider

Gonna tell that long-tongue liar

Tell the rambling, gambler

Back-biter, God Almighty's gonna cut you down

Amen

Amen

Amen

Better run on for a long time

Run on for a long time
