God's Gonna Cut You Down

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 back-biter
Tell them that God's gonna cut them down
Tell them that God's gonna cut them down

Well, my goodness gracious
Let me tell you the news
My head's been wet with the midnight dew
I've been down on bended knee
Talking to the man from Galilee
All the people
They been asking what the angels think
But they look at the ground and hide all of their shame
In the soles of the shoes on their feet
They call my name and my heart stands still
When they all said "Avery, go to hell!"

Go and tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back-biter
Tell them that God's gonna cut them down
Tell them that God's gonna cut them down

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

Well, you may throw your rock
And hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's done in the dark
Shall be brought to the light
So God, please
Cut them down

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

Go and tell that long-tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back-biter
Tell them that God's gonna cut them down
Tell them that God's gonna cut them down

Tell them that God's gonna cut them down
