Run On Lyrics

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
