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 is gonna cut you down Let me tell you that God is gonna cut you down My God spoke and He spoke so sweet I thought, I heard the shuffle of angels feet He put a hand upon my head Great God almighty, let me tell you what He said Go tell that long tongue liar, and tell that midnight rider Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter Tell 'em that God is gonna cut them down Tell 'em that God is 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 is gonna cut you down You may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' 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 Tryin' to make time with your neighbour's wife 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 is gonna cut you down Let me tell you that God is gonna cut you down One of these days, you can mark my word You think her man is away at work You'll sneak up and 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 is 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 is gonna cut you down Let me tell you that God is gonna cut you down Let me tell you that God is gonna cut you down
