Lyrics: Jamie Bower Music: Jamie Bower 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 will cut you down Sooner or later god will 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'em thet God's gonna cut'em down Tell'em thet God's gonna cut'em down My goodness gracious let me tell you the news My headβ€˜s been wet by the midnight dews I've been down on bended knee Talkin' to the man from Galillee He spoke to me in a 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 an'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 will cut you down Sooner or later god will cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar, Go 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 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 You can run on for a long time Sooner or later god will cut you down Sooner or later god will cut you down
