[verse 1: margo price]
let me set the mood, set the situation
imagine that you’re sittin’ in a congregation
hey, he’s talking ’bout judgment day
listen real close, hear what he say

[chorus: margo price]
you better run on for a long time
run on for a long time
run on for a long time
but god almighty’s gonna cut you down

[post-chorus: margo price]
gonna tell that long-tongued liar
gonna tell that midnight rider
tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
god almighty’s gonna cut him down

[verse 2: margo price]
great god almighty, let me tell you my need
my head’s been wet with the midnight deed
i been down on bended knee
talkin’ to the man from galilee
my god spoke, spoke so sweet
i thought i heard the shufflin’ of angels’ feet
he put one hand on my head
great god almighty, let me tell you what he said

[chorus: margo price]
you better run on for a long time
run on for a long time
run on for a long time
god almighty’s gonna cut you down

[verse 3: margo price]
throw the rock, hide your hand
workin’ in the dark against your fellow man
but sure as god made the day and night
what you do in the dark will be brought to light
you may run and hide, slip and slide
tryin’ to take the mote from your neighbor’s eye
but sure as the lord may be rich and poor
what you reap, my brother, is what you sow

[chorus: margo price]
you may run on for a long time
run on for a long time
you may run on for a long time
but god almighty’s gonna cut you down

[post-chorus: margo price]
gonna tell that long-tongued liar
gonna tell that midnight rider
tell the gambler, rambler, back-biter
god almighty’s gonna cut her down

[verse 4: margo price]
some people go to church just to signify
they try to make a date with their neighbor’s wife
but let me tell you brother, just as sure as you’re born
better leave that woman, better leave her alone
one of these days, mark my words
you’ll think that your brother’s gone off to work
you’ll walk up and knock on the door
that’s all brother, there ain’t no more

[chorus: margo price]
you better run on for a long time
run on for a long time
you better run on for a long time
god almighty’s gonna cut you down

[pre-chorus: margo price]
gonna tell that midnight rider
gonna tell that long-tongued liar
tell the rambler, gambler, back-biter
god almighty’s gonna cut him down

[outro: margo price]
amen
amen
amen
amen
you better run on for a long time
run on for a long time
