You may run for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down

My God spoke, and he spoke so sweet
I thought I heard the shuffle of angels' feet
And he put a hand upon my head
Great God almighty, let me tell you what he said

Go tell that long tongue liar, tell that midnight rider
Tell the gamblers, tell the ramblers, tell the back-biters
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut them down
Tell them that God's gonna strike them down

You may run for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down

You may throw your rock, hide your hand
Working in the dark against a fellow man
But as sure as God made the day and night
What you do in the dark will be brought to the light

You may run n' hide, slip n' slide
Tryin' to make time with your neighbor's wife
Brother, let me tell you just as sure as you're born -
You better leave that woman alone

You may run for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down

One of these days, you can mark my word
You think her man is away at work
Creep on up, knock on that door
That's all son, you will knock no more

You may run for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down

You may run for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna cut you down
Let me tell you that God's gonna strike you down
