Run on for a Long Time

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's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down

My God spoke and he spoke so sweet
Thought I heard the shuffles of angels feet
And he, put a hand upon my head
Great God almighty I'll tell you what he said
Go tell long-tongued liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gambler, the rambler, the back-biter
Tell them God's gonna cut them down
Tell them God's 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's gonna cut you down
You may throw your rock and hide your head
Working in the dark against your fellow man
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
Trying to make time with your neighbour's wife
Brother let me tell you 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's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down

One of these days, you can mark my word
You think a man is away at work
Creep on up and you knock up on that door
That's all son, you'll 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's 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's God's gona cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna strike you down
