Run On for a Long Time

You might run on for a long time
Run on, children, for a long time
Let me tell you God almighty
gonna cut you down x2

Lord God almighty let me tell the news
My head got wet in midnight dew
Great God I've been down on my
bended knees
Talking to a man from Galilee
Michael spoke and he sounded so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of
angels' feet
He put one hand upon my head
Great God almighty let me tell you
what he said
Go tell that lonesome liar
Go tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblin', ramblin'
backslider
Tell them God almighty gonna cut
'em down
You might run on for a long time
Run on, children, for a long time
Let me tell you God almighty
gonna cut you down x2
You might throw your rock,
hide your hand
Work in the dark with your fellow
men
Sure as God made the day and dawn
Dawn from the light run and hide
just slip and slide
Trying to take the mote from your
neighbour's eyes
As sure as God made you rich and poor
You gonna reap just what you sow
You might run on for a long time
Run on, children, for a long time
Let me tell you God almighty
gonna cut you down x2
Some people go to church just to sit in the fire
Trying to make a date with the neighbor's wife
Brother let me tell you as sure as you're born
You better leave that woman alone
Because one of these days mark my word
You think that brother is going to work
You'll go up and you'll knock on his door
That's all brother you'll knock no more
You might run on for a long time
Run on, children, for a long time
Let me tell you God almighty
gonna cut you down x2
