Lyrics

[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
