Run On (feat. King Sugar)

You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down

Go and tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter
Tell him that God's gonna cut him down
Tell him that God's gonna cut him down

My goodness gracious, let me tell you the news
My head's been wet by the midnight dews
I've been down on bended knee
Talkin' to the man from Galilee

He spoke to me in a voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels feet
He called my name and my heart stood still
When He said, "Son, go and do My will"

You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down

Go and tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter
Tell him that God's gonna cut him down
Tell him that God's gonna cut him down

Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Working in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark will be brought to the light

You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time
You can run on for a long time
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down
Sooner or later, God'll cut you down, hah
