Run On Lyrics by Moby

Play: The Complete Recordings

1999

[Verse 1: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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, run, run, run

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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: Bill Landford and the Landfordairs]
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
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
