Run On

You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time. But sooner or later god will cut you down Goodness gracious let me tell you the news My head's been down with the midnight dew I've been down on my bended knee Talking to this man from Galilee He spoke to me with a voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of angel's feet He spoke to me and my heart stood still When he said, Nero go do my will Go tell that long tongue liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell him that God's gonna cut him down Tell him that God's gonna cut him down You can run on for a long time. You may throw your rock, hide your hand Working in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made what's black and white What's down in the dark will be brought to the light Go tell that long tongue liar Go tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter Tell him that God's gonna cut him down Tell him that God's gonna cut him down
