Run On for a Long Time (Remastered)

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

Well stop, God Almighty, let me tell the news

My head got wet in midnight dew

Great God, I been down on my bended knees

Talking to a man from Galilee

Michael spoke and he sounded so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet

He put one hand upon my head

Great God Almighty, let me tell you what He said

Go tell that lonesome liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gamblin' and ramblin' and backslider

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might throw your rock, hide your hand

Work in the dark with your fellow man

Sure as God made the day and the dark

Dark from the light running hide

Just slip and slide

Trying to take the mote from your neighbor's eyes

As sure as God made the rich and poor

You gonna reap just what you sow

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

Some people go to church just to signify

Trying to make a date with a neighbor's wife

Brother let me tell you just as sure as you're born

You better leave that woman alone

Because one of these days, you mark my word

You think that brother is going to work

You go up and you bang you knock on his door

That's all, brother, you'll knock no more

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you, God Almighty gonna cut you down
