Run On (Resound NYC Version)

[Verse 1]

Lord God Almighty, let me tell the news

My head got wet in midnight dew

Great God, I been down on my bended knees

Talking to a man from Galilee

Michael spoke and he sound so sweet

I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet

He put one hand upon my head

Great God Almighty, let me tell you what he said

[Pre-Chorus]

To go tell that lonesome liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambling, rambling backslider

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

[Chorus]

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

[Verse 2]

You might throw your rock, hide your hand

Work in the dark with your fellow men

Sure as God made the rich and poor

You're gonna reap just what you sow

[Chorus]

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

[Instrumental]

(You might run, run, run, run)

[Verse 3]

Some people go to church just to signify

Trying to make a date with the neighbor's wife

Brothers, let me tell you just as sure as you're born

You better leave that woman alone

[Pre-Chorus]

To go tell that lonesome liar

Go tell that midnight rider

Tell the gambling, rambling backslider

Tell them God Almighty gonna cut 'em down

[Chorus]

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

[Outro]

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging

Run on, children, for a long time

Let me tell you God Almighty gonna cut you down

You might run on for a long time

Run on, ducking and dodging
