Run On

You may run for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

My God spoke and and He spoke so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet

And He put a hand upon my head

Great God almighty

I tell you what he said

Go tell the long tongue liar

And tell that midnight rider

Tell the gamblers, the ramblers

The back-biter

Tell them that God's gonna

Cut them down

Tell them that God's gonna

Strike them down

You may run for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

You may throw your rock

And hide your hand

Working in the dark

Against your fellow man

But as sure as God

Made the day and night

What you do in the dark

Will be brought to the light

You may run and hide, slip and slide

And try to make time

With your neighbors wife

But brother let me tell you

Just as sure as you're born

You better leave that woman alone

You may run for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

One of these days you can mark my word

You think her man is away at work

Creep on up knock on that door

That's all son, you will knock no more

You may run for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

You may run for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Run on, for a long time

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down

Let me tell you that

God's gonna cut you down
