You can run on… for a long time
Run on… for a long time
Run on… for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll… cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler
the… back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna… cut 'em 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
talkin' to the man from Galilee
He spoke to me in the voice so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle
of the angel's feet
He called my name
and my heart stood still
When he said "Son go do My will!"
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler
the… back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's… gonna cut 'em down
You can run on… for a long time
Run on… for a long time
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
will be brought to the light
You can run on… for a long time
Run on… for a long time
Run on… for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll… cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler
the… back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna… cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna… cut you down
Tell 'em that God's gonna… cut you down
