Run Your Mouth

Don't wear your hat low

Don't keep your eyes closed

'Cause there's some trouble

Right where you at

I've made some mistakes

So take it from me

You better move on

Right down the track

Just keep a lead foot heavy on the pedal

Don't let 'em catch you settled

Since you don't know how to act

Run your mouth and don't look back

I knew this one girl

Blue eyes and blonde curls

I took her home with me

Just the week before

I knew she had a man

But no, I didn't plan

To have my face pressed against a .44

But then it went click

And then I thought quick

To grab my drink and run right out that bar back door

Just keep a lead foot heavy on the pedal

Don't let 'em catch you settled

Since you don't know how to act

Run your mouth and don't look back

Just say some firm words

Make sure you're damn heard

And that it cuts 'em deep and leaves 'em feelin' low

And if you live like this

Make sure that you don't miss

Your opportunity when you gotta go

Just keep a lead foot heavy on the pedal

Don't let 'em catch you settled

Since you don't know how to act

Run your mouth and don't look back
