Run On

You may run on 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

Go tell that long-tongue liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblers, the ramblers, the back-biters
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut them down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut them down

You can throw your rock, hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
Sure as God made the day and night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light

You may run on 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
Tell you that God's gonna cut you down

My goodness, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galilee
God hath spoke in his voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
He put a hand upon my head
Great God almighty, tell you what he said

Go tell that long-tongue liar
Tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblers, the ramblers, the back-biters
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut them down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut them down

You may run on 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
Tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Tell you that God's gonna cut you down
