You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, but sooner or later God will cut you down, sooner or later God will cut you down. Go and tell that long-tongued liar, go and tell that midnight rider, tell the rambler, the gambler, the backbiter, 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 whipped with the midnight dew, and I've been down on a bended knee, talking to the man from Galilee, and he spoke to me in a voice so sweet, I thought I heard the shuffle of an angel's feet, he called my name and my heart stood still when he said, So run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, but sooner or later God will cut you down, sooner or later God will cut you down. Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand, working in the dark against a fellow man, but as sure as God made black and white, what's done in the dark could be brought to light, so run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, but sooner or later God will cut you down, sooner or later God will cut you down. Tell that long time liar, go and tell that midnight rider, tell the ram below, the camel, or the backbiter, sooner or later God will cut you down. For more information visit www.fema.org
